This lecture was recorded at the Ri on the 22 January 2024, in partnership with the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
With alien landscapes, an immense variety of life forms and only 5% of it so far explored, the ocean is the most fascinating place on our planet.
The Schmidt Ocean Institute are hoping to increase this with the sophisticated technology found on board its research ship, R/V Falkor, which is exploring the oceans with state-of-the-art laboratories, an underwater robot reaching depths as far as 4,500m, and high-performing computing facilities. These free-to-use tools are allowing scientists and engineers internationally to collaborate and share their data, and even the public as underwater imagery from deep dives is livestreamed to a global audience.
Join Jyotika Virmani, executive director of the Institute, as she uncovers this new era of ocean discovery providing us with unprecedented abilities to explore the wonderful world beyond our coastline like never before.

What an enlightening presentation! Thank you for your contribution to humanity!
Awesome channel with awesome videos
Thanks Royal Institution 💖🌍🌟
Spectacular!!! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!!
Enthralling presentation. Thank you for sharing
Brilliant talk. I applaud all involved
Very good presentation on a really important science. The more we know about our oceans the less they will be taken for granted. The oceans and all life within them should be protected and treated with utmost kindness. The good work the Ocean Institute is doing employing all these new amazing technologies is helping to ensure a brighter future for our planet Ocean.
Amazing indeed. Thank you
What a wonderful presentation. I'm left wondering however, whether our understanding of the deep sea (two thirds of the planet) will come in time. 🤞
Not before we ruin it all would be my bet.
Thank you for this important presentation. Ms. Virmani is an excellent ambassador for this research! The presentation illustrates very well that we care more about things when we can visualize them. Clearly this are many lifetimes to learn more. This is great research. I would say, much more important than going to the moon.
How exciting to witness life below the waves. Our Ocean is crucial to all life on our planet. Thank you for caring!
Brilliant. Thank you
The "mapping the sea floor" map surprised me. Australia seems to have a wealth of data about the ocean around that continent. Being blessed with The Great Barrier Reef would have been a catalyst for such ventures. The Australian Navy is part of this task. Japan also has an amazing map or its ocean too.
Wow nice good cool great
Please add a link for the Sebastian rover livestream
Lovely
thank u, share,share
A way to converse with fellow inhabitants regarding issues like deep ocean mining, is pointing out that manufacturing every piece of technology on the planet involves the use of energy and raw materials. Some technologies are, or appear to be, ‘greener’ than others, and the environmental risks and benefits are not the only risks and benefits to consider. There are economic issues, how and when financial resources are used…for ocean exploration, for lunar exploration, for recycling projects, for wastewater management, or population studies, for recreational facilities…..
There are very important ethical considerations regarding any sources of funding. The Scheme, by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
I am curious how much work can be done on the ship. I assume it can be doing 1, 2, or more missions at once, but taking time to set up and go places. How do scientists coordinate with you to do their research? How many missions can you do in a year for individual scientists? Does each scientist need days or weeks of time on the ship?
Amazing and stunning. Royal Institute thank you for all what you do to bring science live to the public.
Is sonar distructive to fragile organisms?
The depths at which the ramshorn squids were seen swimming with their eyes up should have been noted. They probably would not approach the sea floor or surface, so in the wild would be looking up to see food or predators against the light. In captivity, they are confined to very small spaces where they can see that there are no predators in the water, but possibly hidden in the sand, and when fed, their food drops to the floor of the tank, so the squids, being the intelligent cephalopods they are, find it logical to swim facing down.

Greetings from the Mediterranean, middle ground, middle earth.
I believe (grouping) to be probably the easiest and best method to achieve and reach a, any and all possible combinations of mathematical proof's the fastest and most probably the best understood way.
You can only group that which exists, if and when grouping that which does not, it has to be achieved in highly direct regards to that which exists.
Example: One exist, (a) group would easily and directly show that. One group and one group can be grouped as two groups, and as a group of two's also, that should directly and very easy show one plus one (equals) two.
Two halves or two of any equally or unequally measure do not exist, can do so only grouped, making one as a none existing group itself and one as an existing group. Equal, multiplication, subtraction, minus etc do not exist, can do so only grouped making a, any and all possible combinations of corresponding results.
This is also the difficulty of the simplicity. X Y Z together with functions, halves, one, two or more equal or unequal measures do not exist, can only do so with and within a highly direct regards to that which does.
The full correlation, knowledge and direct existing correspondence to that which exists, enables for fluid and beautiful mathematics which are a proof simultaneously.
Pythagorean triangular numbers are probably the best and longest standing example of this, as a proof of that which exists and that which does not.
A very particular difficulty regards in using existence meaning that which exists as most generally applicable or most specifically applicable, especially if and when deriving a, any and all possible combinations of none existence off. Example: One is as general as it can get, zero point anything fallowed by anything is as specific as it can get. Deriving none existences off one is much easier done, deriving none existences off zero point anything fallowed by anything is much harder especially as a continuation, making such continuations eventually fail in showing a proof of existence.
The difficulty becomes difficulty as a consequence of the movement of that which is existing in a hierarchical descending and ascending way, together and often with and within a, any and all possible combinations of corresponding, representing and derived none existences, making it highly and in some cases extremely difficult to establish which is which, being one is a proof the other is not, yet could enable or disable one.
Oceanography is a deep subject. I'm glad she didn't water it down.
Nick, your sense of humor is all wet.
Can we use these amazing maps to find and extract minerals for developing mobile phones for instance?
We found during this video presentation that mining the Sea Floor was NOT a very good idea.
What does the light from these submersibles do to the deep sea creatures? I'm sure a lot are unaffected much but are there some things that die (or possibly trigger some cancer response) from light exposure?
Visible light is not ionizing radiation and therefore it can not trigger cancerous growth.
I wonder how it would affect the "eyesight" of creatures that live in very dark environments.
"71% of the Earth is covered by Ocean, the rest is covered by Jonty Rhodes" :)
Looks like we need to start colonizing under the oceans
never-ending story , is that the human race, the perfect vessel to conduct ocean iron fertilization experiments
She has cool toys
NiCe!✨️
Hidden secrets of ocean ?
Alright
Am i gonna hear about mermaids finally or whattttt???
Anyone else try to look for the Bermuda triangle and see how big it actually is on the map?
You can collect zillions of data (videos) but you need humans to interpret them. Involve students around the world or elderly volunteers.
AI is simply for analysis, not interpretation.
By now
Life 3.0 is an informative read by Max Tegmark regarding what human neural networks are good at…and not so good at…and same for present AI.
The vast majority of human primates know next to nothing about neurobiology….but it doesn’t inhibit them from having an unsubstantiated opinion.
"Uh"
Ms. Virmani pls say out loud, I am not suicidal, I don't plan of getting in a helicopter, and everything I show in this presentation shows nothing related to the deceased Mike deGruy. Kidding. I enjoyed your lecture very much ma'am keep them coming please. My question is when did man decide to eat creatures.? When did it become apart of our diet. Secondly, as with the the African Migration Theory, did the eating of sea creatures start in 1 country or continent and branch out or did all cultures begin to eat sea creatures at the same time?
Why would you say that about deGruy? What are you implying?
These upper cast Hindus here in United Kingdom get at every opportunity under the affirmative action that is provided by that United kingdoms government.
But these same hypocrites back in India oppose the constitutional affirmative action against the low cast Hindus provided by indian constitution
Did the Gaga about merit but here in UK they happily get everything.
That's a shame
Good presentation, BUT too much of throwing out a load of percentages. Percentage of what, why, relevance in context, what context, relevance to other percentages? Good but not great.
can the usa divert Ukraine funding to this effort instead ?
Used to be excited when this channel posted. Now it's all garbage
My body hurts so bad i cant sleep. No way i could do this 20 more years.
Eventually much of the technology we use to explore our oceans will be used to explore Europa.
I've seen exobiologists on board ship, with this in mind.
