People visually documented visually on a visually 1470 square mile or deep seashore, 0.001 percent, According to a new study. This is a bit bigger than Rhode Island size.
Reports published in the magazine on Wednesday come as a nation dispute To continue the industrial mining of the seabed for critical minerals.
Some scientists claim that it is azzal that more research on the deep seashore is to make more research to advance with extractive activities.
“More information is always beneficial, so we can make more informative and better decisions,” said Katy CroFf Bell, a deep-ocean researcher, a deep-ocean researcher, the founder of the Sea exploration area.
He said that more information about the deep sea is important to understand how to change climate change and how human activity affects the oceans. However, the work also emphasizes the excitement of intelligence that manages many sea scientists.
“You can imagine what 99,999 percent is in the rest of the part,” Dr.
In 1958 and in 1964, the visual documents of the Deep Sea, which began with the Deep Sea Assassination of Alvin, allows biologists to find out how to discover new organisms and their environment and surrender to the ocean ecosystems.
It is difficult to bring deep sea organisms to the surface. If you are adapted for high pressures, a few animals, if you are survived, photos and videos are very important.
“There are habitats you can’t sample a ship,” he said. “If you have to go there in a rov and have to do it,” he said and referring to the remote vehicles.
Seolfoor helps geologists to get visual. Remote-working Undersea vehicles and careful passwords, researchers have a more confusing approach: throw a big bucket from a ship, drag it and see what is inside.
“They just have a mess with a rock and they will try to sort him,” he said. “This is like people who learn meteorites, trying to understand a process on another planet.”
To see the sea-rock shots in photographs and videos, he allowed scientists to learn how fundamental ground processes work. It also helps companies assess potential sites for mining and oil and gas activities.
However, reaching the sea is expensive both in the background and time. Exploring a square kilometer of the deep seashore can cost $ 2 million to $ 20 million. Prepare for the sofas and take a few hours to go wrong. Once dive continues, slowly progressing. There is a Rover, a rover, a reptile and ship transfer of a ship.
With so many obstacles, Dr. Bell wanted to know how much seashells did and how long it was to explore.
Dr. Bell and his employees gathered more than 43,000 records of deep sea divers and evaluated the collected photos and videos, how many the sea field documented.
All together, they estimated that the deep sea was seen from 2130 and 3.823 square kilometers. Indicates about 0.001 percent of the whole deep seashore.
“I knew it would be small, but I’m not sure I expect to be so small,” said Dr. “We have been doing this for almost 70 years.”
Exception of special waves of research, information, such as military operations or information such as oil and gas exploration, are not open to the public. Although the documentary increases with the order of magnitude, Dr. Belt said: “It is enough to move the needle.”
It is based on this small section that sea sea biologists know about the seashore. The situation is to extrapolize from a smaller area than Houston, from an area to all the land surfaces of the world.
The study also determined that all the deep dives of high-income countries have completed charts with 99.7 percent of the deep dives, the United States, Japan and New Zealand. Most dives were in 200 nautical miles of these three countries. This means that the dives are carried out by a small group of countries, said and where the authors are studied and where the authors are.
“There are many people with deep sea experience in the world,” Dr. “They simply do not have tools to be able to make the types of research and intelligence they want to do.”
Dives tend to be in the same areas like Mariana ditch or Monterey Canyon or target the same interests as hydrothermal vents. Since the 1980s, the deepest dives were shallow, the more coastal waters. Many areas in the deep sea have not been investigated.
“The study is a good estimate of where we are, where we are and go to the deep sea,” Dr. McClain.
