These perspectives have enabled us to identify and recommend important future research directions to a new and emerging project, INDEEP, born from the synthesis of the Deep Realm CoML programs focused on mid-ocean ridges, abyssal plains, seamounts and margins, in addition to our own ChEss program. These future priorities include continued exploration of the deep ocean ridge-crest, an increased focus on potential anthropogenic impacts upon these enigmatic deep-sea ecosystems and a concerted future effort to link with other scientists active in the Deep Ocean Realm for a major investigation of the South Pacific Ocean the world’s largest contiguous habitat for life but also its least investigated deep ocean basin Peer reviewed Conference Object Antarc* Antarctic Arctic Digital.CSIC (Spanish National Research Council) Antarctic Arctic New Zealand Pacific |
