Centre for Deep Sea Research
The Centre for Deep Sea Research was established in 2021 as a result of a generous contribution from the Trond Mohn Foundation. The centre is a leading international institution and pioneer in deep ocean research. Our research activities aim to increase our understanding of geological evolution, biological adaptations, species diversity and potential resources in the least studied environment on Earth: the deep sea.
About the research centre
The centre builds on the expertise of the outstanding research in geobiology (2007-2017) and the subsequent K. G. Jebsen Center for Deep Sea Research (2017-2021).
Who are we?
Vision and misson
"Exploring the unseen, uncovering the unknown"
The deep sea remains one of Earth's last frontiers, with vast unknowns about its geodynamics, ecosystems, and biological potential. At the Centre for Deep Sea Research (CDeepSea) we approach deep-sea exploration through interdisciplinary collaboration, striving to be a global leader in groundbreaking research and transformative discoveries.
Our vision is to push the boundaries of scientific understanding, advancing knowledge of deep-sea environments and their geological and biological potential.
The Centre is dedicated to advancing knowledge of the deep ocean's geological development, biological adaptations, biodiversity, and mineral resource potential. Our interdisciplinary team of scientists and technicians works to better understand how geological, chemical and biological processes intersect in complex environments (such as seafloor hydrothermal systems). We bridge fundamental research with real-world applications, linking science, education, technology, and industry through collaborations with international universities and ocean observation networks, local and national subsea industries, and other research institutions.
Our research is organized into five interconnected multidisciplinary groups with special interest in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Together, we aim to push the frontiers of deep-sea science and innovation.
Expertise
By collaborating across disciplines, we can do ground breaking science and make exciting deep-sea discoveries.
The Centre for Deep Sea Research comprises around 15 scientists in professor, associate professor and researcher positions, 10 technical and administrative staff, 15 PhD students and around 20 masters students.
Together, our researchers cover a wide range of scientific expertise: We are geophysicists, petrologists, geochemists, geobiologists, paleontologists, microbiologists, bioinformaticians, marine biologists, and taxonomists. It is the breadth of experience that is our core strength. This collaboration enables us to perform ground-breaking research that expands our knowledge of the deep sea and its resources.
