UC Santa Cruz hydrogeologist Andrew Fisher is leading an expedition on the research vessel (R/V) Atlantis this summer to explore fluid flow and microbial habitats deep within the ocean crust. His team is returning to a set of six borehole observatories they installed in the seafloor off the coast of British Columbia during earlier expeditions in 1996, 2004, and 2010. Using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Jason, they will collect samples and data and conduct new experiments.
