AGU 2012 Fall Meeting: Science Technology at Extreme Depths, with James Cameron
Science Technology at Extreme Depths, with James Cameron and DEEPSEA CHALLENGE Scientists Tuesday, 4 December 2:30 pm Journalists can follow up on special session U22C with questions for James Cameron and three scientists from the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE Expedition. The panel will discuss the sub #39;s innovative design as well as preliminary scientific findings including identification of new species and discovery of deepest example to date of gigantism in deep-sea animals. Along with a team of scientists and engineers, Cameron co-designed the submersible in which he became the first person to descend alone to the Earth #39;s deepest known point. The expedition included multiple sub dives to explore the New Britain and Mariana Trenches where it collected video footage of unprecedented clarity, physical oceanographic data, water samples, biological samples and sediment. Participants: James Cameron, Expedition Leader, DEEPSEA CHALLENGE; Chairman, Blue Planet Marine Research Foundation; Explorer-In-Residence, National Geographic Society, Washington, DC, USA; Douglas Bartlett, Professor of Marine Microbial Genetics, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD, La Jolla, California, USA; Patricia Fryer, Professor, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics Planetology, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA; Kevin Hand, Deputy Chief Scientist, Solar System Exploration, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, USA.
