LIVE-Submarine Ring of Fire 2012: Northeast Lau Basin

Follow the Submarine Ring of Fire 2012: Northeast Lau Basin expedition LIVE as scientists explore submarine volcanoes of the Western Pacific. An interdisciplinary team of 27 scientists and technical experts from the United States, New Zealand and Australia will work closely with a team from the MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences from the University of Bremen (Federal Republic of Germany) to utilize the remotely operated vehicle Quest 4000 to conduct visual surveys; collect sediment samples; and map the geological, biological, archaeological, and chemical aspects of 2012 target areas.

State-of-the-art exploration and telepresence technology allow you to join us throughout the exploration, as discoveries are shared live on the web, putting the unexplored ocean directly in your hands.
