One of our #TwinDEEPS ECRs joined a roundtable on the scientific, legal & ethical challenges of #DeepSea exploration and the key role of #communication in its protection. 🌊

Special thanks to #SOAPorto for organizing this inspiring session!

Exploring subsea tech at #OceanologyInternational in London 🌊

The #TwinDEEPS team connected with global experts, discovered new tools (ROVs, AUVs, sensors), and exchanged ideas on ocean research & innovation.
It was great to meet colleagues and stay at the forefront of deep-sea science!

We are still thinking about #TwinDEEPS Winter School! ❄️

Special thanks you to all IMR staff for all the support and their contribution in making the TwinDEEPS winter school a success!🌊

Last week’s #TwinDEEPS Habitat Mapping & Modelling workshop 🗺️ brought together researchers from CIIMAR, other portuguese research institutions and our partner NIOZ.
Big thanks to our instructors and all participants for making it a success! ✨

Cientistas exploram o fundo do Gorringe, onde há corais, esponjas e um chão rochoso à Mordor Nova expedição científica às profundezas do Gorringe, cadeia montanhosa submersa no Atlântico, permitiu detalhar a biodiversidade local. Este oásis marinho vai ser classificado como área protegida.

The latest expedition to the #GorringeSeamount is now featured in an in-depth article by Público!
