- Dr. Armando Azua-Bustos of the Centro de Astrobiologíca has studied the Atacama Desert for the last decade and led the #AtacamaTrenchAncients expedition to explore the deep waters adjacent to it. When we think of life in the Ocean, we imagine octopuses, whales, and other charismatic megafauna. Still, in reality, the vast majority of life in the Ocean is microscopic - there are more microbes in the Earth’s Ocean than stars in the universe! Understanding how microbial life adapts in extreme environments offers clues to our origins and how life might adapt on distant ocean worlds such as Enceladus and Europa.

So amazing. Keep learning.
Cant help but notice how excited and happy everyone is, working. These guys definitely found their purpose, awesome stuff
Super cool window into an exploration of our world, cant believe we can see this in real time.
Great editing!! The music, the pacing, the people, the message, very cool!
Second your compliments regarding the combo of informative narration matched with insightful editing.
I'm sure glad that this site popped up in my queue ! You have a new subscriber and I look forward to watching more of your work. You and your colleagues are doing great work, thank you !
👍❤👍So fascinating to learn how everything is interconnected with all forms of life!
Thanks for sharing - wow
Truly inspirational video. What's the name of the last species presented?
Trench on land, trench under the sea. Interesting comparison.
I love the Frida Catho shirt!
So awesome I was wondering about the microbial with global warming. This research is so important and so few know about it. Thank you I'm going to share!

The Stromatolites are the real OG’s!
Interesting and thanks. And hence NASA and the Mars Rovers taking snapshots of apparent past Mars stromatolites.
Queria ter a chance de atuar em algo assim parecido. Oceanografia é algo mágico para mim.
Beautiful
Life didn't start somewhere. Life is.
They're talking about the place that terrestrial life began, not the concept of life. Yes, it's possible that life arrived on an asteroid.
@christophercooper6731 where would that asteroid have picked up life?
“Arrival of the Fittest” by Andreas Wagner is the source of the most thorough and sensible hypothesis I’ve seen. I hope everyone here checks it out.
How can something be without starting? The universe started a long time ago, and life must have started some time after that.
@@bluemonstrosity259 Andreas Wagner in “Arrival of the Fittest” writes about that very thing. Basically, he argues that as long as you have a thermodynamically cyclical environment that is both regular enough to establish patterns and dynamic enough to force periodic change…and water….all you need from there is time for life to develop.
And time? Humans struggle to understand the timescales we’re talking about. Sure, we SAY 10 million years, 100 million years, 4.5 billion and 13.871 billion years. But the truth is we struggle mightily to perceive just how long it all took for Earth to become the dynamic, biologically infused, and life dependent place that it is.
