MiningImpact2: Interview with Dr. Freija Hauquier on her biological research on board of RV SONNE (expedition SO268)

In this video, Dr. Freija Hauquier (Ghent University) talks about her research on the diversity and connectivity of meiofauna species in the deep-sea to better understand how they might be affected by deep-sea mining.

MiningImpact 2 “Impacts and Risks of Deep-Sea Mining” (2018-2022, funded by JPI-Oceans) is the second phase of the MiningImpact project. It studies the (1) the larger scale environmental impact caused by the suspended sediment plume, (2) the regional connectivity of species and the biodiversity of biological assemblages and their resilience to impacts, and (3) the integrated effects on ecosystem functions, such as the benthic food web and biogeochemical processes. The project consortium comprises 29 research institutions from 9 European countries and the International Seabed Authority based in Kingston, Jamaica.
