@sonkelab We disturbed one at a Caribbean seamount that there's a Nautilus clip of - really neat to watch it swim! https://t.co/OGdPrDVXxb

A USGS-led expedition set sail into the northern Gulf of Mexico this month to examine and characterize seafloor communities in areas impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: https://t.co/Tlsps3PZ2t

Japan undertook first ever #ExcavationTests of #DeepSea seafloor #MassiveSulfides in 2017 in the Okinawa Trough. We observed various #impacts on benthic communities and identified several possible indicators of mining disturbance. #FeatureArticle

The first of my PhD papers is out in @GlobalChangeBio! Using @OceanDeepSearch & @oceanexplorer data we predict distribution of deep-sea coral Lophelia off the SE USA, & use climate models to project its regional fate to 2100 @CordesLab @CST_TempleU

#JobAlert #DeepSeaCorals A postdoc opportunity to design & conduct experiments on deep-sea corals incl feeding, growth, reproduction. Field and lab work, based in Gainesville, FL https://t.co/xotVqIg4N1

[Jill Bourque @jrbrque]

Come join the Benthic Ecology Lab at USGS WARC! We're looking for a post-doc to design and conduct experiments on mesophotic and deep water corals. https://t.co/svAwsyjALy

Paid internship ad below!!! Work with the awesome @BenthicBrigade team @SmithsonianSMS studying benthic infaunal communities 🪱🏖️🐌🦀

[Kevin Kocot @kmkocot]

Successful first day of the @SmithsonianSMS #meiofauna diversity and #taxonomy workshop! We practiced various extraction techniques and already found lots of awesome animals! Looking forward to 2 weeks with this great group!

For scientists aboard the Escanaba Trough expedition, obtaining sediment cores or deep-sea biological and geological samples after a Jason dive is only the beginning. Learn more about how these samples are processed: https://t.co/PYKC8szqkj @oceanexplorer @BOEM @WHOI

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

Critical to scientific operations aboard the Escanaba Trough expedition are submersible robots that allow researchers to observe seafloor features and collect data from depths seldom visited by humans: https://t.co/1HK2YKTT8w @oceanexplorer @BOEM @WHOI @rvthomasgthompson

@DeepSeaBex At about 6 months for a 2-week cruise. I had a supportive team both at home and at sea and was able to pump. That young he barely noticed I was gone, a little more so when he was ~1 year for a 3-week cruise. Mostly I felt guilty putting everything on my husband while I was gone.

It's lunchtime! This swiftia coral species, part of a USGS coldwater coral study, uses tentacles to capture food particles from the water column.

Here @AMWeinnig removes some of the water from the top of the push core containing the xenophyophore. Always a good idea to bring a biologist 👍
