We at The Field Museum would like to extend to you an exciting educational opportunity to get the latest news from the field. From June 17, 2001 to July 3, 2001, Field Museum zoology curator Janet Voight will send you updates as she and a team of scientists study deep-sea hydrothermal vents on the floor of the North Pacific Ocean. Dr. Voight will participate in a submersible-assisted research cruise and use JASON, a remotely operated vehicle that will: investigate how much heat escapes from under the Earth's crust; collect geophysical and oceanographic data; make observations and collections of biological communities at these hydrothermal vents; and deploy and recover current meters with attached temperature probes from the ocean floor at depths of 2400 m (7800 feet). Through Dr. Voight's updates, you will learn about the team's underwater research, up-to-the-minute methods, and new discoveries, plus get a taste of the day-to-day challenges of underwater exploration and research conducted aboard a ship and the experiences of a team of scientists. If you would like to receive Dr. Voight's updates, please send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the Subject Heading "Subscribe." Thank you. Raissa A.
