Exploring the Deep Sea

The Deep Sea is Earth’s last great frontier. After almost 150 years of exploration and research we understand it is deep, dark and definitely different; but there remain large gaps in our knowledge that hinder progress in sustainable management of this vast system. New technology - from manned submersibles, to satellite measurements, acoustic systems, and artificial intelligence - is key to future research, and the next ten years promises to deliver a new age of deep-sea science.

Kudos to Professor Kerry Howell for this fascinating, informative lecture. Exciting that autonomous robots mapping the deep mysteries of the benthic realm is inexorably becoming a reality.

Exploring the Deep Sea 1807pm 23.2.2 i am pretty well traumatized by the thought that some chap had the mind set to suggest the waters held no life in them... wow.

[@mattiasfagerlund]

Excellent lecture! Regarding research ethics, Jacques Cousteau used to fish using dynamite, cataloguing anything that would float to the surface. That's quite upsetting to view. One complaint they had in the video I watched was that the killed organisms would change color quite quickly as they'd died during explosive trauma, and it seemed the researchers felt quite sad for themselves.

If it works it works I guess.

Wow! I almost passed by this video. Am I glad I watched -- I will return, too.

20:25 In 1973 I was 13 years old and I was probably watching the "The Undersea World of Jaques Costeau" and dreaming of becoming an oceanographer.

Exploring the Deep Sea 1807pm 23.2.22 excellent.

If I had known of the revolutionary precipice that technology has brought us to in terms of knowledge of the deep sea when I was in highschool, I would've certainly become a marine biologist or something adjacent 😢

Live lectures again, that’s great, but please don’t go back to keep a full view of the speakers. Watching online I much prefer the watching the slides and an insert of the lecturer. It really annoys me when I look at a detail while listening and the slide suddenly disappear.

the denizens of the deep! just felt like saying it.😄

[@paulwolstenholme1673]

Jacques Costeau?

[@markhewins8517]

AI means less marine biologists. More fisheries and oil prospecting (with robots)

We don't live on a planet in space.

Sorry ms expert the ocean is 71% not 75%....try google
