Abstract:

The ocean provides much for the planet, but there is still a great deal we do not know about the workings of 70 percent of the earth's surface, especially in its deepest parts. Therefore, scientists at North Carolina universities are leading the way, along with government agencies and entities such as the NC Museum of Natural Sciences are building momentum to explore into the vast reaches of the ocean.
