Join the Nautilus Exploration Program at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2022
The 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting is being held virtually from February 24 through March 4, 2022. Featuring more than 5,300 ocean specialists from over 75 different countries, the program is a virtual conference with a scientific program and numerous networking and professional development events working toward the goals of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. You can register to participate online here, including free registration for any high school students and educators worldwide.
Below are some of the posters, talks, and projects being presented by OET team members, program alumni, partners, as well as collaborators working with data from previous Nautilus exploration expeditions. Join our team in celebrating these scientific discoveries building from our expedition results!
