TITLE: This is not planet Earth: Advancing our tools to study the deep sea, and what we’ve learned about this ocean world with Dr. Peter Girguis, Professor, Harvard University
TALK DESCRIPTION: The very first “ocean world life detection” mission took place on board the HMS Challenger in 1872, when scientists and crew sailed for four years and produced the first comprehensive survey of Earth’s ocean – from sea surface to sea floor. Today, ocean scientists explore the ocean through a combination of human-operated and autonomous instruments. Space scientists are also rapidly developing technologies required for missions to other worlds, including ocean worlds. We suggest that fostering a rich and extensive collaboration among ocean and space scientists is critical if we are to advance our understanding of Earth’s ocean as well as other ocean worlds such as Enceladus and Europa. Here I will present some of the latest technological developments -as well as the lessons- from exploring our own inner space. We will also present highlights of our recent efforts that examine the relationships among abiotic and biological processes in our ocean.
