Exploring beyond the Abyss

 

The deep ocean trenches are one of the most inaccessible and poorly studied regions on the planet, reachng a depths of up to 11km (35,000 ft). Practically nothing is known about the circulation, mixing, chemical properties, and biological communities that are within the deepest 45% of the ocean's depth range. 

We have obtained funding to develop a profile that will, for the first time, enable high-quality multidisciplinary observations.
