The expedition is a follow-up to a 2006\/2007 visit to the same sites where the scientists found so few organisms living in the shallow sediment that this region may contain the least inhabited marine sediment ever explored.  This region encompasses an area twice the size of North America.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t know anything about life in this deepest, oldest sediment,\u201d said D\u2019Hondt, the chief scientist on the expedition.  \u201cIt could tell us about the possibility of life elsewhere.  If organisms can survive there, then perhaps they can be supported by the same processes on Mars or Jupiter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe researchers are aboard the 469-foot JOIDES Resolution, a drilling shipping owned by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program.  The sediment cores they recover from the seafloor will be analyzed for their chemistry and microbial communities to detect evidence of life.  The research team includes 100 scientists, technicians and crew from a dozen countries around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 December 7, 2010 \u2013 Three oceanography professors at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography, who are now aboard a research ship in the South Pacific, will use videoconferencing technology to talk about their research with students at Lawn Avenue School and Melrose School in Jamestown on Dec. 9 at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63824\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
