Working with a Canadian research team lead by Dr. Kim Juniper of the University of Quebec at Montreal, and using the Canadian ROV ROPOS to visit and sample tubeworms on the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Two PSU graduate students, Jason Flores and Sue Carney participated in this first cruise to obtain the fresh material they need for their studies of blood physiology and population genetics of the different morphotypes of the tubeworm Ridgeia piscesae.
