About this episode

The deep ocean is one of the most extreme places on Earth. Crushing pressure, freezing temperatures, and total darkness make it impossible for humans to explore for long, yet scientists continue to make incredible discoveries thousands of meters below the surface. So how do they do it?

In this episode, you'll discover the remarkable technology that makes deep sea exploration possible. From remotely operated vehicles and autonomous underwater robots to multibeam sonar, artificial intelligence, and environmental DNA, these tools are transforming how we study one of the least explored parts of our planet. You'll also learn why mapping the ocean often leads to discoveries scientists never expected to find.

This episode is part three of our four-part series leading up to Friday's interview with experts from Ocean Networks Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. By the end, you'll understand why technology is helping scientists ask bigger questions, make new discoveries, and build the knowledge needed to better protect Canada's deep ocean and the rest of our blue planet.
