SUMMARY:Mapping and characterizing enigmatic habitats in the last great wi
 lderness on Earth - Prof Andrew Davies (University of Rhode Island)

DESCRIPTION:The deep ocean is truly one of the most challenging and expens
 ive habitats on earth to study. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach 
 that bridges the scientific disciplines of physics\, chemistry\, geology a
 nd biology. Remote locations and crushing pressures at depth have hindered
  what we could achieve\, but decades of advancements in technology and ana
 lytical tools have enabled novel discoveries. For much of the global ocean
 \, and particularly the deep\, the fundamental questions of where marine h
 abitats occur\, how abundant they are and how many species there are in a 
 given area is poorly resolved or entirely unanswered. This poses challenge
 s for science\, management and conservation\, who face increased demand fo
 r access to marine resources. In this seminar\, we focus on addressing two
  seemingly simple questions\; 1) can we locate functionally important spec
 ies in the greatest wilderness on earth? 2) Can we identify and quantify t
 he environmental conditions that drive their distributions?\n
