Micro-organisms under the sea
Description
Inside Science is a secondary science series following the success of Scientific Eye and Science in Focus. Inside Science takes viewers on a mission of discovery aboard an Arctic Ocean research vessel which is scooping up samples of micro-organisms from the ocean floor, three miles down. The expedition is part of the Census of Marine Life , which is the most ambitious initiative in the history of marine science. It's a ten-year mission intended to produce a comprehensive study of marine life diversity. Samples from the ocean floor are scrutinised by an international team of specialists who are based at the Seckenberg Institute in Germany. Hundreds of new species are being discovered and team members explain the process of identification and documentation of a new species. The camera is rolling when new species are discovered.
