No necesitas bucear para descubrir | Samantha Schwann | TEDxABQ

La artista visual submarina y exploradora Samantha Schwann explica cómo el avance de la tecnología de vehículos operados remotamente (ROV) amplía lo que el océano puede enseñarnos. Su charla se basa en siete expediciones con ROV a un cañón submarino, un entorno protegido. En ella documenta la biodiversidad de la zona crepuscular, con poca luz. Sostiene que los lugares menos observados del océano apenas comienzan a conocerse.

• Uso de ROV para observar la zona crepuscular del océano
• Siete expediciones de dificultad creciente en un cañón submarino
• Biodiversidad oculta en un área protegida bien documentada

Samantha Schwann reframes exploration itself, showing how advancing ROV tech is expanding what the ocean can teach us. Samantha Schwann is an underwater visual artist and explorer working at the intersection of exploration, technology, and conservation. A member of The Explorer's Club, she pilots a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to document biodiversity in the ocean's low-light “twilight zone,” where only a fraction of sunlight reaches. In her talk, Samantha shares findings from seven progressively challenging ROV expeditions into a submarine canyon, revealing hidden biodiversity and surprising marine events in an otherwise well-documented protected environment. As ROV technology advances, she shows how our understanding of the ocean's least-observed places is only beginning to unfold. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
