Creatures of the GISR Dive
Our recent analysis of the methane bubble plumes on the GISR (Gulf Integrated Spill Response) leg of our 2015 expedition had our ROV Hercules suspended in the water column at various depths and we saw several different organisms during sampling.

GISR: Natural Gas Seeps in Gulf of Mexico
What impact do natural hydrocarbon seeps have on the ocean and atmosphere? This is one of the key questions we’ll be investigating on this leg of the expedition. This expedition is part of the Gulf Integrated Spill Response (GISR) Consortium, funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI). The vision of the GISR Consortium is to understand and predict the fundamental behavior of petroleum fluids in the ocean environment.
