Professor Alan Jamieson
Alan Jamieson is a Professor at The Oceans Institute and the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Western Australia. He is the founding Director of the Minderoo UWA Deep Sea Research Centre, and has 25 years of experience in deep-sea science, technology and exploration.
Alan is an international authority on the deepest places in the oceans known as the ‘hadal zone’, meaning depths between 6000 and 11,000 metres. He has published over 150 peer reviewed scientific papers and book chapters and monographed the book The Hadal Zone: life in the deepest oceans for Cambridge University Press in 2015.
He is currently Chief Scientist of the Research Vessel Dagon and the full ocean depth submersible Baku. In 2024 he was awarded the title of Officer of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Marine Science and Exploration.

Dr Thomas Linley Dr Thomas Linley is a Curator of Fishes at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, moving after falling in love with New Zealand and the museum collection during his research into the Kermadec Trench.
Thom specialises in deep-sea demersal (living close to the bottom) fishes from 4000 m depth and deeper. He is particularly interested in their ecology and distribution; how they live down there, and why they are found in some places and not others. He has an interest in developing the technology that allows deep-sea studies and exploring ways to make it smarter and less costly. His desk is often covered in cables and the guts of electronics.
Thom likes to explore different ways of communicating science to reach as many people as possible. He frequently gives public talks to offer a fun and accurate portrayal of the deep sea.
He studied in the UK at Aberystwyth, Bangor and Aberdeen Universities and has industry experience in marine survey and environmental monitoring. Thom has over 800 days of seagoing experience...but still gets seasick.
