<h2><strong>Dive and Discover Expedition 15:
<br>
Dark Life at Deep-Sea Vents</strong></h2>
<h2>January 2-21, 2014</h2>
<p>Join our online expedition to examine
tiny life in some of the most hostile
environments on Earth—deep-sea
hydrothermal vents. On this cruise,
scientists and engineers led by Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution will use the
remotely operated vehicle <em>Jason</em>
to study microbes living on and below the
seafloor. Unlike ecosystems on Earth’s
surface, where sunlight provides energy,
deep-sea vents exist in total darkness,
and the microbes derive their energy from
chemicals that form deep inside the Earth
and flow out of the hydrothermal vents.
How do they do that, and what’s their role
in the vent ecosystem and the ocean at
large? This online adventure follows the
action aboard the research vessel <em>Atlantis</em>
via daily updates, photos, and videos.
Students can email questions and get
personal responses from researchers and
crew members. </p>
<p>The expedition will fit Common Core
standards in reading and several
categories in the Next Generation Science
Standards.</p>
<h3>Take your classroom to sea this winter.
