The CNRS Earth and Universe Institute has just published an article on ANR project BIOLUMOPS (Marine Bioluminescence, Spatiotemporal Observations in situ by Submarine Glider) coordinated by our colleague Séverine Martini (MIO).

The first mission of the project took place from 13 at 27 March 2025 on board the oceanographic vessel Europe in the Mediterranean.

The objective A better understanding of the spatio-temporal distribution of bioluminescence at depths of up to 600 metres.
