Exploring ocean frontiers
Open Ocean Research
Open ocean research investigates environments defined by crushing pressure, near-freezing temperatures, and darkness that challenge observation and sampling. Scientists map water masses, track thermohaline circulation, and study benthic habitats, hydrothermal vents, and carbon storage in the abyss. Because signals are subtle and evolve over years, this work depends on high-accuracy, long-duration measurements of physical, chemical, and biological parameters to reveal climate trends and ecosystem function.
