Schmidt Ocean Institute Maps Brazilian Seabed with R/V Falkor (too)
en.clickpetroleoegas.com.brThe research vessel R/V Falkor (too) has launched a 35-day expedition from Fortaleza to map the Brazilian ocean floor. A team of 20 researchers is using a two-ton autonomous robot capable of reaching depths of 6,500 meters to collect sediment samples and image unknown marine species. This mission focuses on expanding the scientific understanding of deep-sea biodiversity and seabed topography in Brazilian waters. Such data is essential for environmental conservation and understanding the role of the deep ocean in global climate regulation.
