In situ incubation experiments

Sketch of an incubator deployed for one year on the floor of the Indian Ocean for collecting microbial biomass from iron minerals

Development of experimental devices that can be deployed in the marine habitat and experiments conducted in situ are critical for understanding local bio-geo-coupling processes. However, working "in the marine field" particularly at greater water depths can be challenging and requires special equipment.
