The protection of the deep seabed, the largest biome on the planet, is a major challenge for future generations.

LIFEDEEPER intend to develop new approaches, combining in situ, in vivo, and lab experimentations, modeling and qualitative research in social sciences to disentangle the geological, geochemical and biological natural functioning of deep ocean ecosystems.
