The eastern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is dominated by a massive carbonate platform that slopes gently for over 200 km offshore before dipping sharply down to abyssal depths. The deep west Florida slope (WFS) and escarpment of this platform is one of the least accessible places in the GOM; it is far from shore, very deep and is subject to high current co

Between August 28 and September 15, 2019, the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER) and partners conducted a telepresence-enabled expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect critical baseline information about unknown and poorly understood deep-water areas off the U.S. and Canadian Atlantic Continental Margin. The goal of the

Compared to tropical corals, much less is known about deep-sea coral biology and ecology. Although the microbial communities of some deep-sea corals have been described, this is the first study to characterize the bacterial community associated with the deep-sea octocoral, Paramuricea placomus. Samples from five colonies of P. placomus were collect

Initiated through Presidential direction and now codified, the National Ocean Mapping, Exploration, and Characterization (NOMEC) Council comprises leaders from U.S. federal agencies with a shared goal of mapping all waters of the United States and exploring and characterizing priority areas. The NOMEC Council’s two Interagency Working Groups, Ocean

In this paper we investigate the use of passive stabilization to support stereolithography (SLA) printing aboard a moving vessel at sea. 3D printing is a useful technology onboard a seagoing vessel to support engineering development, shipboard maintenance, and other applications when land-based manufacturing resources are unavailable. SLA printed m

The purpose of this report is to briefly describe the acoustic seafloor and water-column mapping data collection and processing methods used during the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and mapping expedition EX-17-02, and to present a summary of the overall mapping results and mapping related cruise activities. A complementary ROV cruise report enti
