At the Pharo, the schoolchildren discovered the MIO workshops on the ocean! In particular the bioluminescense tent and the glider.
Thanks to our colleagues of the MIO who participated actively in these stands!

Listening to the anthropic underwater

Sophie Bonnet, explorer of oceanic deserts

Could marine microorganisms absorb more CO2 than we think? And thus help reduce global warming? This is what oceanographer Sophie Bonnet thinks. She has just been awarded a European ERC Consolidator grant to finance her research project on this subject, HOPE. Meet a woman who is passionate about tropical ocean deserts, these nutrient-poor spaces, and their hidden riches.
