We recently returned from Hong Kong, where we attended the Deep Sea Biology Symposium 🦑 Read more about our trip here! @dsbsoc.bsky.social cbearctic.com/2025/02/01/d...

We are very excited to announce that the next Deep-Sea Biology Symposium will be held in Bergen 🇳🇴 in 2028!! 🥳 The conference will be a collaboration between the Centre for Deep Sea Research, the UiB Dept of Biological Sciences, the University Museum, Institute of Marine Research and NORCE. 🌊🪸🌋🫧🐟

⭐ DOSI Day 2025 ⭐ Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for a brilliant DOSI Day at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology!

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

The view from the RV Kronprins Haakon this week!

We are currently breaking ice with the RV Kronprins Haakon in the polar darkness, trying to get to our sampling station 🌌🧊❄️ Turns out that the route through the ice is rarely a straight line! @cdeepsea.bsky.social @rimskaya.bsky.social

Scenes from the RV Kronprins Haakon research vessel which has just reached sea ice at 80° N.

We are headed out for a research cruise with @cdeepsea.bsky.social into the polar night, hoping to find some nice worm forests and other cool animals from deep-sea chemosynthesis-based ecosystems 🤓 #WormFEST #CBEArctic 🪱🐌

Finally took the leap over here, hello to old friends! 👋 And for new friends - I am a Norwegian reseacher at the University of Bergen working on deep-sea chemosynthesis-based ecosystems in the Arctic region 🌋❄️ Feel free to check out the webpage of my team www.cbearctic.com
