In honour of the Professor and Dr Thom both now being 40, here’s episode 40!
In honour of the Professor and Dr Thom both now being 40, here’s episode 40!
So everyone has been pretty busy but we finally got round to finishing off our deep sea habitats series with this episode on submarine canyons. We talk with Dr Teresa Amaro, from the University of Aveiro in Portugal about these hugely important habitats in the deep sea and how they influence the fauna of the continental shelf. Plus, we get to hear the infamous story of when The Professor and Teresa docked in Lisbon during a cruise and Teresa was able to clear out a bar for the whole of the crew.
Plus, the deep sea has been all over the news this month with lot’s of new papers being released. Magnetic bacteria have been found by the (phenomenally named) HYPER-DOLHPIN ROV, mysterious markings on the seafloor turn out to be face-planting fish, and scientists have been training jellyfish to navigate through assault courses (kinda).
The Professor’s deep sea research lab have also been busy recently with lots of exciting videos coming out from their landers. Plus, one mystery creature has the whole team stumped. Is it a nudibranch? Or is it something else entirely?
We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us.
Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
