Out on the R/V Endeavor for expedition EN731, exploring methane seeps on the Atlantic Margin with AUV Sentry.

These seeps reveal some of the most active, fascinating spots on the seafloor—and Sentry’s been crushing it with high-res imaging and sensor dives

U.S. Atlantic Margin Seeps Exploring cold seeps off the East Coast of North America

I am currently on a NSF supported research expedition investigating deep-sea natural gas seeps just off the US East Coast. My collaborators and I are working around the clock to document these enigmatic features and the influence they have on seafloor biodiversity, chemistry, geology, and resources.

Humanity depends on the ocean — Here is what we need to prioritize for immediate ocean science research Global ocean research needs to shift priorities to ensure the health and well-being of our oceans, and by extension, humanity.

I'm pleased to share this article written by co-authors & me.

Riffing off our recent decadal survey, we discuss humanity's relationship with the ocean & why immediate action is needed to protect us all. Enjoy! @whoi.edu @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social

I am a scientist and an educator. I cannot believe that everything so many of us have dedicated our adult lives to is being destroyed - burned down - for no reason other than knowledge imperils their vision of the future. This must be reversed. Pls share widely!
