"In addition, they laid out serious problems experienced by the submersible on expeditions carried out before the disaster. In 2021 and 2022, over the course of 13 dives to the Titanic, it had 118 equipment issues. BBC News: titan Submersible Investigation"

"At depths greater than 3000m, the remote-controlled #submersible vehicle MARUM-QUEST took samples from the newly discovered #hydrothermal field... hydrothermal fluids form the basis for #chemosynthesis, which is employed by organisms in #symbiosis with #bacteria."

"While carbon fiber has been used in everything from cars to rockets, no one had ever dived in a deep-water carbon-fiber submersible. Rush wanted to be the first."

#Corals and #sponges are hotspots of #ReactiveOxygenSpecies in the deep sea: Lina Taenzer et al. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/art

"authors took direct measurements of #superoxide in water closely surrounding corals, by bringing a one-of-a-kind deep-sea chemiluminescent sensor called SOLARIS, into the ocean over 2,000 meters deep, on board the #Alvin #submersible."

A new way to track #MarineSnow blizzards: New #submersible provides insights into how organic #carbon moves through the ocean #TwilightZone whoi.edu/oceanus/feature/a-new

"This storm of 'marine snow' consists of tiny particles of organic matter; carbon-rich fragments of dead tissue & feces from #plankton, #fish, & other #animals... As these particles sink down, they become an essential source of food for other marine creatures—and in the process, play a crucial role in the regulation of #climate."
