Scientists Take Underwater Robot On Black Sea Expedition; 'Agent Into The Unknown'

Newark, Delaware (Aug 16, 2007 12:17 EST) Using a novel underwater robot, marine scientists will help reveal the mysteries of the Black Sea's geology and maritime history, including ages-old shipwrecks, during an international expedition that is now underway.

The Institute for Exploration and the Institute for Archaeological Oceanography at the Graduate School of Oceanography are leading the mission, which will conduct geological and research in the Aegean and Black Seas--waterways that have served as major trade routes for centuries.

Robert Ballard, professor of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, and president of the Institute for Exploration, is the principal investigator on the research cruise, which will include a multidisciplinary team of scientists from several nations.

"This is a truly exciting expedition that will shed light on important geological features in the Mediterranean while also uncovering vital information about ancient trade routes and the maritime history of the Black Sea," Ballard said.

Last year, in partnership with the Department of Underwater Heritage in Ukraine, Ballard's research team located numerous shipwrecks in the Black Sea, including a vessel from the Byzantine period that will be revisited and explored during this expedition.

Shipwrecks in the Black Sea often are remarkably well-preserved due to the waterway's . Nearly 90 percent of the Black Sea is a no-oxygen "dead zone," where only a few live."At depths beyond 150 meters, the Black Sea is not unlike a giant natural bell jar from which life-supporting oxygen has been entirely removed," Trembanis said.
