About DSR-II Bering Sea Ecology
A volume of Deep-Sea Research II (also known as Topical Studies in Oceanography) on the southeastern Bering Sea ecosystem is planned for publication in 2001.
The volume will focus on research findings from the 1990s and establish a timely picture of how the southeastern Bering Sea ecosystem works today.
Research results from studies outside of these time and space domains are not acceptable for publication in this volume.
Manuscripts from Southeast Bering Sea Carrying Capacity (SEBSCC) and NSF Inner Front Study researchers will form the core of the volume.

NOAA Ocean Explorer: Expedition to the Deep Slope
Erin Becker is currently a Masters student in biology at Penn State University after having completed a BS in ecology and evolution at the University of Pittsburgh in 2005.
Current work focuses on use of stable carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotopes to determine trophic interactions in deep sea communities associated with the reef-building coral Lophelia pertusa.
In 1993 he was appointed Deputy Director of the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group of Texas A&M University, serving with his long-time friend and Director of GERG, Dr.
His published models for the interpretation of the natural sources of light hydrocarbon gases have become commonly known in the scientific literature as “Bernard Plots” and are commonly used and cited by investigators world wide in their research, papers, and presentations.
Meg also worked for several years at the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, NJ where she carried out her undergraduate research on barrier island ecology and the effects of beach nourishment on intertidal invertebrate populations.
She is excited to be a part of the 2006 Gulf of Mexico cruise studying biogeochemical cycles in the deep sea.

The Silent Deep: The Discovery, Ecology and Conservation of the Deep Sea
It is the story of the discovery of the deep sea, of Mankind’s unfolding understanding of the deep.
Tony Koslow synthesizes the rapidly developing field of deep-sea ecology with an overview of the current crisis in deepwater conservation, created by expanding, largely unregulated deepwater fisheries, and points the way toward a global solution.

Centers, Institutes, and Off-Campus Stations: Center for Deep-Sea Ecology and Biotechnology
Center for Deep-Sea Ecology and Biotechnology Quick Info .
The Center for Deep-Sea Ecology and Biotechnology (CDSEB), which resides within the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences (IMCS), provides an organizational structure for facilitating and integrating deep-sea ecological and biotechnological research at Rutgers, as well as in the scientific community at large.
CDSEB has an active, ongoing program of molecular genetic analyses of deep-sea and other marine organisms and houses the world's largest collection of ultra-low frozen organisms from deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold-water sulfide methane seeps..
