Look what we found in la Isla del Coco while exploring the deep sea. We saw four of them in one dive! Schmidt Ocean @InsideNageo Deep-Sea Biology Society #octopus #deepsea

To lead the expedition in La Isla del Coco focusing on understanding the distribution of corals 🪸across OMZ was challenging but rewarding🤩. We found unique ecosystems, coral with eggs, octopuses, sharks, mantarays and mapped an unexplored seamount🧵 National Geographic Society Schmidt Ocean

Ana-Belen Yanez Suarez is a marine biologist from Ecuador. “I was never afraid, only curious. I had no doubt. I wanted to study the sea and the sea animals.” Watch the full video to learn more about her journey to become a researcher: youtu.be/PU2ChVEiq1E?si… 1/2

The #CliffReefs expedition might be over, but the work to analyses over 30tb of data on vertical cold-water corals is only just starting youtu.be/VlQEekp4PdE?si…

In the seamount we just maped close to La Isla del Coco this is what we saw within OMZ 🤯🪸. All the fear I felt to send the ROV SuBastian in this unexplored waters was so worth it. After this leg there are many more questions to answer. National Geographic Society Schmidt Ocean, 4D Oceans Lab

Dr. Katleen Robert led an international teams of scientists in a Schmidt Ocean expedition that discovered two pristine, cold-water coral reefs and two uncharted seamounts in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands. Details: schmidtocean.org/healthy-deep-s…

Two members of Dr. Robert’s 4D Oceans Lab – PhD candidates Emmeline Broad and Ana-Belén Yánez Suárez – also participated in the vertical reefs project: schmidtocean.org/cruise/vertica… #CliffReefs

Finally I could see and touch this unbelievable worm Riftia 🤯🤯. Hydrothermal vents are fascinating. #MappingGalapagosVents. Good work of C. Chen @ Jamsteeeec in getting the entire worm out of its tube . Schmidt Ocean #deepsea #Riftia

Ana Belen Yanes Suarez (Ana Belen Yanez Suarez) from Memorial University of Newfoundland will give a talk titled "Corals and sponges habitat selection within vertical walls".

Abstract submission and registration is now open! Join us in St. John's this August. Submit an abstract to the general call, or choose to be considered for inclusion in a special session. Full details here: cag-acg.ca/cag-2024-home

Tomorrow I will present my research on "corals and sponges habitat selection and niche differentiation" 🪸🪸to the Deep-Sea Biology Society. I used 3D models to dig deeper in complex ecological relations. Study Location Middle Atlantic Ridge. PM for a link☺️ DOSI 4D Oceans Lab DFO_NL

Happy Deep-sea Day. This is my new favourite coral. We found it during our last expedition in Costa Rican waters. Thanks to National Geographic Schmidt Ocean and 4D Oceans Lab for the support. It took a massive effort and preparation, but it was worth it. explorers.nationalgeographic.org/directory/ana-…

Never in a million years did I expect to find such a beautiful and diverse soft coral reef in our backyard right here in #Newfoundland- read about how it happened here: gazette.mun.ca/research/a-rar… 4D Oceans Lab Marine Institute, Memorial University Memorial University Faculty of Science, Memorial University Katleen Robert
