ERC Consolidator project: SEA-THROUGH - Novel in situ imaging technology to explore the “ladder of vertical migrations” to the deep sea

SEA-THROUGH in a nutshell

Imaging_Bild1

ERC Consolidator Project (started in August 2024)

•Goal: study the existence of the “ladder of migrations”, one of the longest-standing unknowns in deep-sea research

•Hypothesis: synchronized and inter-linked vertical migrations of a multitude of species connect food-webs across the entire oceanic water column down to several thousand meters depth

•How will we do that? We will develop novel in situ imaging technology for highly detailed observations of organisms to resolve the ecological complexity and spatiotemporal scales of the ladder of migrations
