A window into the abyss. Check out this exhibition of fantastic photos collected on the #smartexccz expeditions, held at @LSEnews Atrium Gallery
You can see some of the spectacular imagery from the recent @NHM_London @NHM_Science @NOCnews #smartexccz expeditions to the Pacific abyss in this small but perfectly formed exhibition in @LSEnews #LSEArts Atrium Gallery, London from now until 22 June. Free entry. #NHMDeepSea

Sea cucumber slowly glides along the seafloor while eating. Sped up so 8 minutes takes 8 seconds #smartexccz

I am delighted to share my second PhD chapter, now published in Limnology and Oceanography. In this study, we used three 3D photogrammetry models to investigate pluriannual dynamics of a hydrothermal edifice in the deep sea (- 1700 m). doi.org/10.1002/lno.12486

Check out this study that came out today! Led by @bokamero, revealing a biogeographic boundary in the #CCZ
Our new study in @NatureEcoEvo unveils unexpected patterns in deep-sea #macroecology. A biogeographic boundary splits the #NEPacific in two provinces, deep & shallow-abyssal, with distinct seabed fauna but same diversity levels across the #CCZ. 1/ nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Big publishing week, and last few months for the #NHMDeepSea group @NHM_Science @NHM_London. A series of papers making critical #biodiversity data openly available to assist future policy decisions. Here are the highlights:

It’s a wrap on #smartexccz science. We will be back in Feb 2024. I leave you with this. What goes in must come out… so long and thanks for all the phytodetritus…
