Get an inside look at a major oceanographic expedition to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean! Talk to researchers onboard the Swedish icebreaker Oden as they attempt to use new autonomous robots to discover hydrothermal vents under ice and at a depth of over 3000m.

Janet Voight, PhD, a Field Museum curator in Zoology, host of Expeditions@fieldmuseum™ with ALVIN and an expert on animals of hydrothermal vents from the East Pacific, will host a satellite phone link to researchers investigating the Gakkel Ridge, perhaps home to unknown animals.

A North Atlantic Investigation
The Northern Atlantic and Arctic oceans too much ice, too remote, too dark, too difficult to study? The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Carnegie Museum of Natural History don¹t think so, and Dr. Mary-Louise Timmermans and Kerry Handron want to tell you why.

Join us for a FREE, one-of-a-kind teacher workshop that explores what scientists are finding out about the North Atlantic and why those discoveries are important.
