MBARI researchers and collaborators launch MBARI's MiniROV to explore the Arctic seafloor

Caption

An international team of researchers led by MBARI Senior Scientist Charlie Paull has used MBARI’s advanced underwater technology to document the dynamic processes that sculpt the seafloor in a remote region of the Arctic Ocean. The team has discovered large underwater ice formations in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. This discovery reveals an unanticipated mechanism for the ongoing formation of submarine permafrost ice. Image: Dave Caress © 2022 MBARI
