Challenger 150

Our mission is to map life in the deep ocean. Endorsed @UNOceanDecade programme.

[Challenger 150 @challenger_150]

Wondering what our #OceanDecade programme is all about? We are a global grass roots initiative, dedicated to mapping life in the deep ocean to inform sustainable development. Check out our 2min pitch. #UNOceanConference #UNOC2022 https://t.co/Ot7mFM3RkN

For the last few days, Kerry Howell @DeepSeaEcol has been in Hawaii attending the first #DOSISeamountScienceSummit where she presented the work of #Challenger150 and the importance of mapping seamounts.

🌊 Seamount Science Summit: Ecological Insights 🌊

We’re excited to kick off the #DOSISeamountScienceSummit—a three-day workshop from Oct 23rd-25th, 2024, at the University of Hawaii, bringing together marine researchers from around the globe. 🌍

🚢Live stream from a Challenger 150 cruise with @SchmidtOcean! Discover the #ChileMargin2024 with us until the 5 Dec 2024.
Off the coast of Chile, powerful geologic forces shape the seafloor, creating methane seeps & submarine canyons that may host rich, #DeepSea ecosystems.

Meet Explorisis, a new genus of bamboo coral from the NE Atlantic deep sea.
Named after the Irish research vessel RV Celtic Explorer. Article Open Access.

[UN Ocean Decade @UNOceanDecade]

Two of our flagship #OceanDecade Programmes, @challenger_150 and @seabed2030, have partnered to consolidate the physical and biological ocean data being identified and produced by the two initiatives – further advancing our understanding of the ocean.

@BaitCV has just finished its first field campaign in Santo Antão. Along with 81 dives we have exchanged knowledge between the different partners, but most importantly with the locals. Thank you all @CESAM_Univ @UnivAveiro @PlymUni @BiosferaCV @unicv_edu_cv and UTA.

[Challenger 150 @challenger_150]

We are delighted to be working with @seabed2030 to add the biology to their fantastic efforts to map the seafloor. Their work is vital to ours.

Starting the 2nd annual meeting of DEEP REST, one of the @challenger_150 projects! @UNOceanDecade

[Heliana Teixeira @LilitaTeixeira]

My first #deepsea campaign was a lot of fun! Curious to see what #eDNA samples will tell about #biodiversity in the Aveiro submarine canyon. The #ROVLuso images of the deep will have to wait for☀️days @CESAM_Univ @UnivAveiro @_EMEPC_ @CiimarUp @Uevora @UNOceanDecade

[Challenger 150 @challenger_150]

Great to see research contributing to the Challenger 150 Programme effort being presented #Geohab this week.
