Revision as of 22:26, 24 March 2009 by Grutness (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Biogeography of Deep-Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems is a field project of the Census of Marine Life that studies the biodiversity and biogeography of species from deep-water chemosynthetically-driven ecosystems at a global scale and the processes that shape these communities.
The highly unexplored and unusual areas studied include deep-water reducing environments such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls, sunken wood and areas of low oxygen that intersect with continental margins and seamounts.
The project is led by Paul Tyler of the UK, Chris German of the USA, Eva Ramirez Llodra of Spain, and Maria Baker of the UK.
