A huge influx of people of the past few days so HELLO! I'm Emme, modeller of marine habitats, mother of BathyCam, and lover of all things benthic 🤎

Thinking about starting a body doubling video call writing group (NE 🇨🇦) in mid Feb - anyone up for it? 🐙 🦑 🧪

look at this cute polychaete!! I love being on cruises when it's my job to just pick and sort stuff, like the associates from this Solenosmilia coral fragment collected in the Denmark Strait.

Everyone should get a 3D printed sponge. BEST GIFT EVER!

The evolution of BathyCam, my modular underwater camera system! V2 integrates a nav camera plus handheld controller allowing us to see the seabed in real time. In September we used BathyCam V2 to collect data across a soft coral garden in NL using a fishing vessel & crab hauler!

The soft coral garden at Funk island Deep Marine refuge - these were the first videos we captured in June 2024, I've been back twice to map more and it's much bigger than we first estimated! #Newfoundland is beautiful both above and below the ocean 🌊

My favourite moment on a recent Schmidt ocean expedition to the Galapagos: the lamps from the ROV SuBastian reflected in the eye of an umbrella octopus.
