Going Deep, Going Far

In August, space and ocean scientists gathered in Woods Hole, Mass., for the second annual Ocean Worlds Meeting, organized by scientists and engineers around the U.S. including WHOI scientist Chris German and Jim Bellingham, Director of the WHOI Center for Marine Robotics. The conference’s purpose was to build a new community for exploring oceans on other worlds, bringing together leaders from ocean and space sciences. Participants discussed technologies for exploring under-ice oceans, geology, ocean circulation, and life in extreme environments. (Photo by Ken Kostel, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
