A team of researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute conducted the first field test earlier this year of a new configuration of Deep-ESP. The device is designed to perform long-term studies of how deep-sea ecosystems respond to environmental changes.
The Deep-ESP project – ESP stands for Environmental Sample Processor – will provide scientists with a view of how deep-sea ecosystems respond over time to changes in environmental conditions.Source: [Astrobiology Magazine]
