SUMMARY:THE HUMAN FACTOR: OUR IMPACT ON EARTH's FINAL FRONTIER
DESCRIPTION:Sea Secrets Lecture Series\n\n	\n\n	The Human Factor:\n\n	Our Impact on Earth's Final Frontier \n\n	 \n\n	Considered by many to be the planet's final frontier for exploration\, the deep sea is home to a wealth of mineral\, oil and gas deposits that mankind's ever-increasing population will need in the future. Biologist Chuck Fisher has been studying the communities that live around natural oil and gas seeps in the deep Gulf of Mexico\, and those that live on deep sea hydrothermal vents since their discovery about 30 years ago. This pioneer in the field is an expert on the amazing evolutionary adaptations of giant tubeworms and other strange animals to the extreme\, often toxic environments of undersea volcanoes and oil seeps. With the first deep sea mining of hydrothermal vents scheduled for 2013\, and drilling in the Gulf moving into deeper and deeper water\, much of Fisher's research is now addressing the ecology of these poorly known communities and their resiliency to human impacts.
