Why the deep sea remains Earth's final and most mysterious frontier for discovery
In short: Join museum experts as they explore the hidden world of deep-sea biofluorescence. This session highlights how cutting-edge technology, including the specialized Exosuit, is enabling researchers to uncover new species in one of the planet's last pristine environments.
The deep sea represents a vast, largely uncharted territory where scientific expeditions frequently encounter previously unknown species. Museum Curator John Sparks, alongside Research Associates David Gruber from CUNY and Vincent Pieribone from the John B. Pierce Laboratory at Yale, examine the phenomenon of biofluorescence in deep-sea fish.
The discussion centers on the innovative tools driving these discoveries, specifically the Exosuit, which facilitates deeper access to these remote habitats. This research was made possible through the Explore21 expedition, supported by the Dalio Foundation.
