Deep-sea #hydrothermal vents were unknown to science until 1977, when #oceanographers discovered them on a research expedition along the Eastern Galapágos Spreading Center. #USGS scientists returned to investigate these vents and their #marineminerals: https://t.co/nPUxcAJkg8

Cool new booklet out about the work we do at my USGS science center!

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

New album just dropped. 🆕🆕🆕

Actually, it's a booklet that provides an overview of the coastal and marine research conducted by the USGS in Santa Cruz, California: https://t.co/wIsKFs38KH

“It is no exaggeration to say all life on earth is inextricably tied to the rocks upon which we live and geological processes occurring deep inside the planet.” The new #GalapagosVents video explores interdisciplinary research & its history.

@phyloprog @LlevinAnn @_bradylawrence @SchmidtOcean @covettheband Such a great cruise, such a great song. I hope you are well @phyloprog !

@IglesiasIly Daily tiny goals! And mini dance parties to celebrate them.

@_david_ho_ These test mining ops by TMC included extensive environmental evaluation including a second vessel of independent scientists measuring sediment plumes via numerous methods. Mining regs will include thresholds for impacts. There will be impacts, no doubt, but not going unchecked.

[Kira Mizell @kloumiz]

Trying and measuring is the best way to know the impacts, costs, and benefits.

Allseas & NORI recently wrapped up the first integrated system trials in the CCZ since the 1970s, lifting over 3,000 tonnes of nodules. The pilot system will next be upgraded to 1.3MTPA production capacity ahead of our first commercial project, Project 0.

Gotta love a manganese nodule that’s almost as big as your head!

@emilykmay I don’t think it should be impossible for mixed genders of mixed ages to interact. I was driven home by dads, and we managed to be mature and have nice conversations. We don’t need to be spared from all possibly awkward interactions - let’s bridge gaps not maintain them.

Fun highlight about our USGS research project featuring our fearless leader, Amy Gartman!

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

The @USGS Global Marine Mineral Resources project researches deep ocean minerals throughout the Earth’s oceans, aiming to provide stakeholders with the best available science regarding potential resources and any impacts associated with accessing them: https://t.co/hLTCNaFAjW

@geochemisthat Usefulman reminds me of able bodied seaman 😁

@clhoffma Congratulations! 🍾 A great position for a great scientist!

[International Seabed Authority @ISBAHQ]

On Friday, 11 Nov, the Council of @ISBAHQ closed Part III of its meetings and the 27th session after 10 days of meetings held in Kingston, Jamaica to discuss the draft regulations on the exploitation of mineral resources in the Area and other matters: https://t.co/wzCM1VSMOM

@PhoebeLam9 @_oceanyang @geotraces_gp17 @RVRogerRevelle I adore you both! Good luck!!!

[Lisa Ann Levin @LlevinAnn]

I am honored to be attending #COP27 with an amazing group of #SIO next generation scientists. They are engaging with climate stakeholders and policymakers at the #oceanpavilion in Egypt this week.

[Kira Mizell @kloumiz]

@DeepMicrobe Just to clarify that they called “for a conditional moratorium on deep sea mining in areas beyond national jurisdiction, until a Mining Code can be agreed that ensures the effective protection of the marine environment.” Not a permanent ban.

[Kira Mizell @kloumiz]

If you’re interested in the development of deep sea mining regulations, including environmental regulation and monitoring, tune in to the live international meeting anytime October 31 - November 11 to witness the lengthy and careful negotiations

[International Seabed Authority @ISBAHQ]

Part III of #ISBA27 kicks off today with in person meetings in Kingston, Jamaica to discuss the #MiningCode, the operationalization of the Enterprise & the Economic Planning Commission and other matters.
