Collaborative efforts send profiler to work in the mesopelagic zones of the Atlantic Ocean

The exhibit explores the exquisite beauty of plankton and its crucial role not only in ocean ecosystems, but in how ocean health is critical to our survival and elemental to all life on our planet.

Typically associated with the study of Earth’s upper atmosphere and beyond, satellites deployed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) also augment our understanding of Earth’s ecosystems, including critical information about the ocean such as locations of algal blooms and levels of marine photosynthesis.
