The Washington Ocean Acidification Center will join the University of Bergen aboard the traditional sailing ship the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, for The Vast and Deep Ocean, part of the One Ocean Week series of events. Short presentations will be hosted throughout the event alongside scientific posters and demonstration tables.
About The Vast and Deep Ocean event:
The ocean remains one of Earth’s last great frontiers — vast in scale, deep in mystery, and largely unexplored. In The Vast and Deep Ocean, researchers from the University of Bergen and the University of Washington venture into this immense realm to showcase how they uncover the hidden world beneath the waves. The event will also reflect on opportunities and challenges of transforming Statsraad Lehmkhul, a traditional sailing ship, into a floating science lab that welcomes researchers from institutions around the world aboard.
This event highlights the scientific exploration and monitoring of the ocean, with a focus on ecological mapping, biodiversity, geological formations, and sea floor mapping. Through advanced subsea technologies, interdisciplinary research and long-term observations, we are beginning to understand both the vastness and the depth of the ocean in entirely new ways. Data visualization and information products available to the public will be highlighted.
