UNCW Researcher, Colleagues to Assess Underwater Data from Gulf of Mexico
UNCW deep water corals researcher Steve Ross and his research colleagues, Sandra Brooke (UNCW adjunct faculty), Tara Casazza (UNCW research associate), and Mike Rhode (UNCW research associate), recently completed a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico on the R/V Tommy Munroe. The purpose of the cruise was to recover a benthic lander that was deployed near coral mounds during a separate research cruise one year ago. The lander, which was successful retrieved, housed numerous instruments and experiments that will provide data related to the health of deepwater coral colonies and potential changes taking place due to both climate change and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
