Where the Oceans Collide.
We are excited to announce the winner of #CopernicusMarine’s 2026 #DataViz challenge, and the cover photo for the 10th #OceanStateReport!
Created by Ali Osman Acar, this graphic reveals the structure of the #Arctic ice sheet west of #Svalbard, and the impact of the #AtlanticOcean waters on its position.
Stay tuned for #OSR10, coming soon!
Eruptive activity wiped out all of the habitats at Tica - a famous site among hydrothermal vent scientists
An ERC-funded fluid chemistry team led by Mustafa Yucel are busy understanding the aftermath on deep-ocean chemistry.

🌋Pasifik'in 2 bin 500 metre derinliğinde, nadir görülen bir deniz altı volkan patlaması meydana geldi
🚀Uzayda yaşamın izlerini arayan Türk bilim ekibi, bir ilke daha imza atarak derin denizlerde çığır açıcı bu doğa olayına tanıklık etti
💥Lavlarla örtülen deniz altı ekosistemi büyük değişime uğradı
🔎Patlamadan sadece saatler sonra bölgeden örnekler alındı
🧪İlk kez “sıcak” verilerle uzay ve yaşam arasındaki bağları keşfetme fırsatı doğdu

From a research submersible, scientists saw hardened lava, dead tube worms and orange flashes from an eruption in the East Pacific Rise. https://t.co/PTaImhuJV0
Pasifik'te araştırma yapan ODTÜ ekibi nadir volkanik patlamayı gözlemleyen ilk ekip oldu
ODTÜ Deniz Bilimleri Enstitüsü Müdür Yardımcısı Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yücel:
"Bu gözlem dünya biliminde ilk defa yapılıyor. Derin deniz volkanik patlamasının hemen ardından, birkaç saat sonra, yapılan ilk doğrudan gözlem olarak bilim dünyasında bir ilki temsil etti"
In case you missed the news, UDaily has now published a longer write-up of the Tica eruption discovery during the latest joint expedition of @UDelaware@udceoe@rpi@METU_ODTU
funded by @NSF and @ERC_Research

Congratulations to Dr Suna Tüzün @tuzunkuru , postdoctoral scientist in our @ERC_Research DeepTrace, for succesfully completing her first Alvin Dive!
Suna and I had a busy workday at 2512 meters, sampling hydrothermal fluids and exploring seafloor habitats for sampling in future dives in our expedition.
Our young pilot Benen did an excellent job once again.
And the rest of team members are eagerly waiting for their Alvin dives. It’s great to witness everbody’s excitement. Stay tuned…

Pacific deep-sea expedition is finally on: Long trip to Costa Rica from Turkiye, to meet with R/V Atlantis and sub Alvin, has started. The ship is already docked in Golfito waiting for the science party to assemble. @UDelaware@udceoe@METU_ODTU@METU_IMS@ERC_Research
Preparations for our busy @ERC_Research DeepTrace 2025 field season have started. On board RV Lamas of @METU_IMS, we have successfully conducted the first underwater tests of the new AIS deep-sea electrochemical analyzer, to be deployed over Pacific Ocean hydrothermal vents and Black Sea redox zone next year @METU_ODTU@tuzunkuru
Team deep-sea at @METU_IMS@METU_ODTU is growing! Happy to have new member @tuzunkuru Dr Suna Tüzün joining the @ERC_Research project DeepTrace. More PhD and/or research associate positions available within my projects. DM me or reach me at [email protected] and regularly check our page https://t.co/5BTqt7lMzY
