‘Get to know the deep sea before you possibly make use of it’

Marine biologist Sabine Gollner investigates the various types of life in the deep sea. ‘Half of the earth's surface consists of seas deeper than 200 metres. However, the deep seafloor is definitely not uniform. There are hot springs, wide plains with potato-shaped polymetallic nodules, mountain chains and trenches and coral reefs. Just like on land, there is a lot of variation in the deep-sea landscape. And the deep-sea landscape is also under threat from (future) economic exploitation.’

Artificial nodules

‘We know very little about life in the deep sea. One part of my research focusses on abyssal plains with “polymetallic nodules. Various countries are interested in the extraction of metals, such as cobalt, that are found in these nodules on the ocean floor. However, we still know very little about which forms of life live on and around the nodules, let alone how much damage would be caused if nodules are removed.  I am investigating for example whether the same life-forms can be found on artificial nodules made from clay and on the polymetallic nodules. That could theoretically provide the possibility of offering deep-sea life an alternative should the polymetallic nodules be harvested.’

Isolated sources

‘Also around hot springs, where extremely hot and metal-rich water of one hundred degrees Celsius or more is expelled from the ocean floor, the most exotic life-forms, as well as valuable minerals and metals, can be found. However, before one could possibly use those for the Blue Economy, we first need to get to know the life around those sources. For example, how do the various animals move from one isolated source to the next, many kilometres away?’

Code for deep-sea mining

‘Through my work, I hope to contribute to the drawing up of a future international code of conduct for deep-sea mining. Various countries are currently working on such a code within the International Seabed Authority.’

Research interest & motivation

My research interests include the ecology of deep-sea communities and how communities are shaped by extrinsic controls and biological interactions over time. I investigate deep-sea faunal biogeography and biodiversity and explore the influence of productivity, stress and disturbance on diversity. To understand community response patterns to disturbance events, I apply multi-disciplinary approaches, combing classical taxonomical and genetic methods, and linking biotic and abiotic data. We collect data through deep ocean expeditions, using for example remotely operated vehicles and other types of advanced technologies. Most of my work has focused on deep-sea hydrothermal vents. This research has taken on special relevance in the light of our increasing demand for mineral resources. Extraction of minerals at hydrothermal vents and at other deep-sea ecosystems may be imminent. Scientific data are strongly needed to help for example elaborating spatial management and environmental impact assessment protocols in the context of deep-sea mineral mining.
