2. Arctic Summer-time Cyclones

   The overarching goal of the project is to determine the role of sea-ice surface properties in Arctic cyclone dynamics and to characterise the interaction of Arctic cyclones with the summer-time Arctic environment.

10. Hydrothermal exploration of the Red Sea

    HEXPLORES searches for active hydrothermal vents in the Red Sea Rift. The Rift contains the world’s largest submarine metalliferous sulphide deposit. Yet no active vent systems have been located there.
