Dr. Monika Bright Joins Ross For A Fun Deep-Sea Chat
October 18, 2024
Dr. Monika Bright is a professor at the University of Vienna. She studies, among other things, deep-sea life that exists in the incredible heat of hydrothermal vents. A team of researchers recently made some fascinating discoveries by doing something as conceptually simple but logistically difficult as -- and I'm oversimplifying -- looking under rocks. The hard part: the stuff they looked under is about 8,000 feet under the surface of the sea and is surrounded by temperatures that can be 500 degrees or more.
