Can you imagine living and working under the sea? It's the reality
for some scientists, who inhabit laboratories deep at the bottom of
the ocean. Research on the Edge - Ocean Lab is a gripping look at
the daily lives of these scientists, and the vital research they
carry out in extreme conditions. Discover the difficulties of
setting up an ocean lab and the challenges of supplying equipment
and necessities to the workers. Children can read about the
conditions scientists live in, from how they breathe to what they
eat, and some of the dangerous animals and plants they must avoid.
Explore how research conducted under the sea can help with
conservation, increase our understanding of climate change, and
expand our knowledge of marine life, biodiversity and habitats. It
can reveal untapped resources, and unknown eco-systems. Learn about
the incredible technology that enables the scientists to live and
work in dangerous conditions and the transport they use to travel
around the ocean floor. See how they attempt to live with as little
impact on their environment as possible. Discover how scientists
manage their data, and publish it in journals around the world, and
see how their findings can affect the way we do things in our
everyday lives. Find out about the international science community
- where and why cutting-edge research is carried out, how it is
paid for, and who owns the results. 'Danger' panels highlight some
of the perils scientists face, while 'Cutting edge' panels detail
the latest technology. Research on the Edge - Ocean Lab is ideal
for children age 9+, for geography and science projects, or simply
as a great leisure read. The ocean is not the only place where
scientists work in extreme conditions. Try reading about the
Rainforest Lab, the Space Lab and the Polar Lab.
