Finally I could see and touch this unbelievable worm Riftia 🤯🤯. Hydrothermal vents are fascinating. #MappingGalapagosVents . Good work of C. Chen @ Jamsteeeec in getting the entire worm out of its tube . Schmidt Ocean #deepsea #Riftia

Two members of Dr. Robert’s 4D Oceans Lab – PhD candidates Emmeline Broad and Ana-Belén Yánez Suárez – also participated in the vertical reefs project: schmidtocean.org/cruise/vertica… #CliffReefs

Dr. Katleen Robert led an international teams of scientists in a Schmidt Ocean expedition that discovered two pristine, cold-water coral reefs and two uncharted seamounts in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands. Details: schmidtocean.org/healthy-deep-s…

The #CliffReefs expedition might be over, but the work to analyses over 30tb of data on vertical cold-water corals is only just starting

In the seamount we just maped close to La Isla del Coco this is what we saw within OMZ 🤯🪸. All the fear I felt to send the ROV SuBastian in this unexplored waters was so worth it. After this leg there are many more questions to answer. National Geographic Society Schmidt Ocean, 4D Oceans Lab

Ana-Belen Yanez Suarez is a marine biologist from Ecuador. “I was never afraid, only curious. I had no doubt. I wanted to study the sea and the sea animals.”

It's been a pleasure working with such a great team!

To lead the expedition in La Isla del Coco focusing on understanding the distribution of corals 🪸across OMZ was challenging but rewarding🤩. We found unique ecosystems, coral with eggs, octopuses, sharks, mantarays and mapped an unexplored seamount🧵 National Geographic Society Schmidt Ocean

Look what we found in la Isla del Coco while exploring the deep sea. We saw four of them in one dive! Schmidt Ocean @InsideNageo Deep-Sea Biology Society #octopus #deepsea

The Galapagos expedition on board Falkor (too) full of surprises🪸. Beautiful coral reefs, lots of samples and new discoveries 🪸🪸🤩. #WomenInSTEM #exploringtheocean #Explorer National Geographic Society Schmidt Ocean images courtesy of SOI 4D Oceans Lab CORDAP

The #CliffReefs expedition aims to map & characterize vertical reef ecosystems while defining environmental drivers. The team is using advanced tech, including a laser scanner for ultra-high resolution, 3D reconstructions of cold-water coral reefs.
