Scientists/Authors Tim Shank and Dan Fornari who will present their new
book “Discovering the Deep” on Friday, July 10, at noon in Redfield
Auditorium, 45 Water St., Woods Hole.The deep oceans and global seafloor
are truly Earth's last frontier. They remain largely unexplored, yet are
critical to our survival on this planet. This magnificent, full-color
volume transports you to bizarre landscapes hosting exotic life forms
that rival the most imaginative science fiction. Starting with a
historical summary of seafloor exploration and the developing
technologies used to study this extreme environment, it then describes
the distinctive geologic components of the Earth's ocean floor and the
unusual biological communities found along the mid-ocean ridges. This is
an indispensable reference for researchers, teachers, and students of
marine science, and a visually stunning resource that will enlighten and
intrigue oceanographers and enthusiasts alike. A suite of online
resources, including photographs and video clips, combine with the book
to provide fascinating insights into the hidden world of seafloor
geology and biology using the latest deep-sea imaging and geological
concepts. Books will be for sale after the talk. Sponsored by the WHOI
Information Office. Coffee, tea, and cookies served. Donations accepted.
