The red blotches discovered on rocks as deep as 1,300 ft. provided an early, startling dividend of the expedition, the scientists disclosed last week in Marquette, Mich. Using a pair of tweezers, a biologist plucked a red spot from a stone that had been taken to the surface and...

Researchers plan to devote 16 dives to studying the nepheloid, a cloudy, particle-laden 6-in. layer of...
Scientists hope that findings from the Sea-Link will point to solutions for some of the Great Lakes' continuing problems. With the expedition only a third over, researchers were already counting it a success. Richard Cooper, a marine biologist at the University of Connecticut and the scientific director of the...
