SUNY Geneseo's Assistant Professor Mackenzie Gerringer and 13 biology undergraduates and alums partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Exploration program to study the deep seas in an online classroom. Their project focused on how to use deep-sea biology data in the classroom and its educational benefits. Gerringer's students also produced unique research findings using NOAA data that may inform conservation efforts of deep-sea ecosystems. The project results were published this week in Frontiers in Marine Science.
