Join scientists live from the lab at the U.S. Geological Survey as they cut open deep-sea sediment cores collected from depths over 3 miles below the ocean surface. Dr. Kira Mizell is a Research Oceanographer and Chief Scientist of the Hawai’i Abyssal Nodules and Associated Ecosystems Expedition, completed in November of 2025. Dr. Katlin Bowman Adamczyk is a Scientist that works alongside Kira in the Global Seabed Mineral Resources Lab at the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in Santa Cruz, California. Kira and Katlin will share videos and stories from their latest research expedition and will be sampling sediment cores in the lab to learn more about the geochemistry of deep-sea ecosystems.
