Special volume of L&O celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series program! Scientific discoveries at HOT have challenge existing paradigms, and continue to transform our understanding of marine ecosystems and impacts of climate change
Meet Dr. Yanagihara, the woman looking to save us from jellyfish stings and Director of the Pacific Cnidaria Research Lab!

Check out the live stream now! Don't worry if it looks like there's nothing happening -- the camera is moving through lots of deep, dark ocean before it reaches the bottom.
📢DIVE ALERT📢 ROVs Hercules and Argus are in the water and headed down to 2000m to explore the first unsurveyed seamount of the @HawaiiReef expedition! Explore this underwater mountain with us: https://t.co/zhUi3dQOeD
After seafloor mapping all night, the science team gathers in the data lab to plan the first dive of the expedition! The targets? Rocky ridges which may host coral and sponge colonies and be prime options for geological samples.
For this expedition, the team aboard Nautilus will be exploring 10 never-before-surveyed seamounts in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument: https://t.co/b89Dh8tILd
@HawaiiReef#NautilusinPMNM
Listen to the HPR interview with @SOESTnews Chris Kelley for background on the exploration expedition to Papahanaumokuakea (@HawaiiReef) that is just beginning on the @EVNautilus
Scientists aboard the @EVNautilus found that life has already begun to colonize brand new lava flows offshore from the Big Island.

During #DeepCCZ expedition, scientists collected info on what species live in Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) & over what distributions, as this information is important to managing areas that could be targeted for deep-sea mining: https://t.co/SLvOscAXvd
The ROV team onboard is the @SOESTnews Hawaii Undersea Research Lab (HURL). They’ve been working round the clock w ROV Lu’ukai to collect info on megafauna, and sediment cores to look at (amongst other things) the microbial community #DeepCCZ#deepsea#research#exploration
One of our manganese nodule samples has grown around a shark tooth - will this affect microbial communities in the nodule? (Probably not, but we can find out!) Thanks to @helena_wiklund for the awesome photo! #DeepCCZ

Background info from #NOAA re: #DeepCCZ. To better understand the impact of future mining efforts, researchers want to first better understand this deep sea ecosystem https://t.co/Hkq4fkzMFq
SOEST researchers are part of the international team doing this critical work. The #DeepCCZ cruise is just beginning! Stay tuned for updates. https://t.co/jh9bHd3SnD
Congrats to our first mid-career awardee, in the Education category: Nicole Lautze from @uhmanoa! She does amazing work with geothermal energy in Hawaii. #C3Ewomen
