Azores - Deep Sea Research

Did you know that it is possible to see our macro-algea at the bottom of the ocean? We wanted to know more about what will happen when the OceanPods hit the seafloor and become part of the sediment. Thats why we started to collaborate with the University of the Azores, Marine Sciences OKEANOS, who are experts on deep sea research.

The Azores are located strategically outside Portugal in the Atlantic Ocean. This university has developed a cost-effective method to filming in 4K at the seafloor, to see activity far below the surface. At 3000 metres depth, the pressure is 300 times larger than on the surface. There is no photosynthesis there, low oxygen levels and it's completely dark. Magnus also gave a lecture about Arbon Earth's solutions and thoughts about the matter at the university. 

- Thanks to the great team of marine scientists, with a special focus on the deep sea, we were be able to do deep sea research. This will be very heplful for Arbon Earth, says Magnus Willner.

Deep sea research using the Azore drift cam. A cost effective way to film in 4K on the seafloor even when it is 1000 metre deep. This is an important part in gaining knowledge about exactly what is going on down there.
