November 2, 2009 - Using Deep Sea Corals to study the environment
Deep-sea corals can live for hundreds of years, but have laid mostly undiscovered. Learn how and where these corals are found and how scientists are using them as well as nearshore ancient sediments to understand our climate history on our planet.
