Registry of all samples from the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013)

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) sampled the world oceans on board a 36 m long schooner, collecting environmental data and organisms from viruses to planktonic metazoans for later analyses using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. Data sets in this collection provide methodological and environmental context to all samples collected during the Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013).

Observation of manganese deposits in the Blake Plateau, Florida and Caribbean sea areas

Designed by the Westinghouse Corporation in collaboration with Jacques Cousteau, DEEPSTAR-4000 is a deep diving research vehicle based on Captain Cousteau's DIVING SAUCER. An evaluation of DEEPSTAR's operational performance at sea is presented in this report through a description of typical dive procedures and the actual NAVOCEANO dive results.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from NASKA cruise stations

The cores and dredges described at this site were taken on the NASKA cruise from 21 February until 26 March 1986 by the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle from the R/V Marion Dufresne. A total of 25 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at MNHN for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from DOWNWIND Expedition stations

The cores described in this report were taken on the DOWNWIND Expedition in October 1957 to February 1958 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Spencer F. Baird and the R/V Horizon. A total of 201 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.
