Grad Student Johansen Counts Bubbles to Understand Natural Oil Seeps

Complete News, GOMRI Generated Stories, GoMRI ScholarsBy Leslie SmithMay 12, 2015

Caroline Johansen laughs when her family tells others that her research involves counting bubbles. But the bubbles she studies come from seeps at the bottom of the Gulf and contain naturally-occurring hydrocarbons that are an important part of the deep-sea ecosystem.

Graduate student Caroline Johansen is happy to have the video time-lapse camera back on the R/V Falcor after a deep-sea deployment. She will analyze the data it collected near a natural seep. Image credit: Mauricio Silva with the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
