Hey there,
if you interested in our oceans and the research of our oceans as well as the technology used to research, i can highly recommend you to check out nautiluslive.org a website about the Ocean Exploration Trust and the Nautilus Exploration Program.
Ocean Exploration Trust (OET) and the Nautilus Exploration Program aim to explore the ocean, seeking out new discoveries in the fields of geology, biology, maritime history, archaeology, and chemistry while pushing the boundaries of education, outreach, and technological innovation. Our expeditions center on scientific exploration of the seafloor, collaborating with the broader research community to identify priority regions and phenomena, and sharing our expeditions with explorers around the world via live telepresence.
You can follow a team of researcher live over their [website] or YouTube (https://nautiluslive.org/) and see their ROW Hercules
dive into the deep to discover a bunch of interesting things down there.
You can learn about expeditions from the past as well as future expeditions and follow them even on a map
I can recommend to watch this video about the found and research of whale fall.
A whale fall occurs when a deceased whale descends to the seafloor, bringing with it a banquet of vital nutrients to deep-sea scavengers. A side-by-side comparison of the 2020 visual survey taken by ROV Hercules in 2019, showed that the whale fall had undergone dramatic density changes in the 12 months since our last visit. Whereas the whale fall was once covered in a thriving abundance of life in October 2019, it was nearly devoid of organisms just a year later.
And you can learn a lot about the research tools which are used to do the work. Like the ROV Hercules (which i mention earlier)
