CIMERS Video Resources
The CIMERS YouTube channel features at-sea and underwater videos created by OSU-CIMERS investigators during research expeditions in cooperation with the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory's Earth-Oceans Interactions program and the University of Washington's CICOES.
OSU-CIMERS contributes to a holistic understanding of the oceans by exploration and research on hydrothermal vents and methane seeps, and their unique chemosynthetic biological communities. This includes ecosystem characterization, resource assessment, environmental observation, and technology development.
Oregon is ground zero for ocean acidification impacts--glimpse the science, impacts and information gaps behind ocean acidification.
Coastal protection is a priority for researchers. Here, they employ remote sensing to better understand coastal hazards.
It is oftentimes difficult to visually discern the difference between black basaltic/silicic rock and the mats without investigation.
