Welcome to Morning Open Thread, a daily post with a MOTley crew of hosts who chose the topic for the day's posting. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
The diarist gets to sleep as long as she likes, and she can show up long after the post published — if at all! That is a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule.
Join us, please.
From Schmidt Ocean: “ROV SuBastian has been examining a selection of the hundreds of methane seeps recently discovered on the U.S. Pacific Northwest margin north of the Mendocino Fracture Zone with a collaborating team of geologists, geophysicists, biochemists, and benthic ecologists. Join us for a quick look at some of the spectacular scenes from the start of this expedition.”
