Octopus innovations: Life in the Abyss | Dr. Rachel Lauer | TEDxCalgary

Octopus are solitary creatures. So why did we find hundreds brooding together in the deep ocean? The unexpected discovery of one invisible connection under the seafloor has Rachel Lauer looking for more. Rachel's journey in earth science began with a profound curiosity about the inner workings of our planet. Her career has carved a unique niche, delving into the fascinating intersection of the seafloor and Earth's mysteries—an area we know less about than the surface of Mars. Her research focuses on the dynamic relationship between life and the ocean/earth interface. Her research in submarine hydrogeology, specifically the movement of fluids beneath the oceanic crust, has led her to explore the ocean's depths aboard Alvin, a deep-water submersible, reaching depths of 4.5 km. This unique perspective has granted her profound insights into the intricate connections between geoscience and biology in the Deep Ocean. Most recently, she played a critical role in an international collaboration, working alongside biologists, policy researchers, artists, and others, focused on understanding fluid exchange and it’s support of life in the deep ocean. 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
