ALT Image of a robot arm pushing cores into muddy seafloor. Caption: Push cores inserted into the seafloor by human occupied vehicle Alvin near hard substrates containing deep-sea corals, sea stars, a basket star, and a crab offshore of Bogoslof Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska. The expedition team is using these cores to describe the community composition, with many taxa likely new to science, along with their environmental habitat, including grain size and food availability.
