The BIOS-SCOPE program, a long-term investigation into the microbial ecology of the Sargasso Sea, was established in 2015 with a team of 22 researchers from Bermuda, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Earlier this year, the program received an additional five years of funding from the Simons Foundation International. Here, Craig Carlson (foreground, blue hard hat), professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the BIOS-SCOPE program director and co-principal investigator, oversees the operation of the Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (or MOCNESS) aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer during a 2017 BIOS-SCOPE research cruise.
