Aug-2002 From Chuck Fisher's website: This was the second cruise supported through a grant from NOAA's West Coast National Undersea Research Program. Like the cruise the previous year, we combined efforts with a Canadian research team lead by Dr. Kim Juniper of the University of Quebec at Montreal, and used 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 both cruises 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.
