Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee, Arctic Ocean Diversity (ArcOD). The Arctic Ocean Diversity project was designed to catalogue animal species and microbes found in the Arctic region—on, in and under the sea ice, in deep basins and along the continental shelves. The project was led by American scientists Bodil Bluhm, Rolf Gradinger and Russ Hopcroft, who sought to document the northward extensions of ranges of Arctic fish and invertebrates.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Biogeography of Deep Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems (ChESS). The Biogeography of Deep Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems project explored life in the hostile, acidic, oftentimes hot and corrosive deep-sea seeps and hydrothermal vents, where life thrives away from any sunlight. The project, led by British scientists Paul Tyler and Maria Baker, American scientist Chris German, and Spanish scientist Eva Ramirez-Llodr, examined more than 1000 species and expanded ranges further north, south, and deeper than had previously been explored.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Continental Margin Ecosystems on a Worldwide Scale (COMARGE). The Continental Margin Ecosystem on a Worldwide Scale project examined life on the continental slopes, over the course of 60 expeditions. The project, led by French scientists Myrian Sibuet and Lenaick Menot and American scientist Robert Carney, discovered stretches of life flourishing on these marginal spaces (including heretofore unknown coral reefs off Africa). The project also examined the threat posed by oil and gas drilling on these sensitive stretches of seafloor.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Future of Marine Animal Populations (FMAP). The Future of Marine Animal Populations project analyzed fishing data and scientific surveys to determine changes in diversity and distribution of marine life. The project, headed by Canadian scientists Ian Jonsen, Heike Lotze, and Boris Worm (and previously by Ransom Myers), identified hot spots of diversity drawn from the Census of Marine Life database and changes in water temperature as one of the most integral determinants in the shaping of marine diversity patterns, while confirming that marine conservation helps to correct the rapid population declines associated with over-exploitation of marine stocks.
Subseries contains records related to Ron O'Dor's attendance at conferences, symposiums and meetings under the auspices of the Census of Marine Life, but not specifically related to any of the CoML subcommittees.
