The oceans cover 70% of the terrestrial surface, and exert a pervasive influence on the Earth''s environment but their nature is poorly recognized. Knowing the ocean''s role deeply and understanding the complex, physical, biological, chemical and geological systems operating within it represent a major challenge to scientists today. Seafloor observatories offer scientists new opportunites to study...
