Operation Deep Sea: Shedding Light in the Darkness

Taglines

Overview

Deep sea: 1000m below the surface no light, immense pressure and icy temperatures. The deep sea encompasses more than 90% of the planets habitat. Yet we know less about these depths than about the moon. This film documents the technical, scientific, and ecological challenges of deep sea researchers. Scientists work worldwide together to collect data on the physical state of the upper ocean. With more than 3000 autonomous floats they monitor the oceans for influences on weather systems like El Nino or the monsoon. Does it affect global climate change? Does the deep sea offer solutions for the CO2 issue? Researchers in the Okinawa Trough are trying to find out. The sea floor harbors enormous amounts of resources: oil, natural gas, methane. Scientists work hard to try and locate these materials. Millions of deep sea dwellers are waiting for their discovery. The Census of Marine Life is trying to catalogue these bizarre ocean creatures before they disappear.

Overview

Diepzee: 1000 meter onder het oppervlak geen licht, enorme druk en ijzige temperaturen. De diepzee omvat meer dan 90% van het leefgebied van de planeet. Toch weten we minder over deze diepten dan over de maan. Deze film documenteert de technische, wetenschappelijke en ecologische uitdagingen van diepzeeonderzoekers. Wetenschappers werken wereldwijd samen om gegevens te verzamelen over de fysieke toestand van de bovenste oceaan. Met ruim 3000 autonome drijvers monitoren zij de oceanen op invloeden op weersystemen als El Nino of de moesson. Heeft dit invloed op de mondiale klimaatverandering? Biedt de diepzee oplossingen voor het CO2-vraagstuk? Onderzoekers in de Okinawa-trog proberen erachter te komen.
