Upcoming expedition

This August, the Nereides team will set sail on an exciting scientific journey, tracing the path of the northwestern deep waters of the Atlantic.
Funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and led by Gerhard Herndl, the Nereides project dives into the mysterious world of the dark ocean, investigating how microbes interact with sinking particles in the planet’s most remote depths.
Stay tuned as we uncover the hidden life that thrives where the sun never reaches!
