Marine Biology 30 ROV Project
Types of Hydrothermal Vents -Warm vents that emit water 5 to 23 degrees C. -Hot vents with maximum exit temperatures of 270 to 380 degrees C. -Snow-blower vents
Geology of Hydrothermal Vents • Geothermal vents are hot springs that occur deep in the ocean. • Located along the world’s mid‑ocean ridges. • First discovered in 1977 near the Galapagos Islands.
Biology of Hydrothermal Vents -Ecosystem for bacteria and animals. -Microbes get their energy from their different chemicals. -More than 400 new animal species have been found in these ecosystems.
Instruments for Exploration • Cameras/Lenses • Arms • Claws • Sensors • Scoops • Nets • Lights • Containers

Strategic Initiative: • Main Objective - Successfully collect two crabs and identify the temperature of a vent within the allotted time frame, on the bottom of the Hartnell pool by utilizing a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
Staffing Management Plan • Kathryn = Driver/Co-chair • Wendi = Driver/Secretary • Jonathan = Chair/Communication
Total Time: 9:56 Mission Results 4:04 to the vent 7:09 to retrieve crab A 9:56 to retrieve crab B
