In the new study, researchers wanted to use bomb carbon as a tracer for organic material in hadal trenches to better understand the organisms that live there.

He described the mission as a "big moment" for hadal science, which studies a zone of the sea greater than19,600ft in depth.

"This was a big moment for hadal science and really demonstrated the scientific capability of the submersible.

"We hope to work with our collaborators at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop autonomy and algorithms to enable the Orpheus class of hadal vehicles to explore intelligently and cooperatively alongside other vehicles and the researchers that operate them," Machado said.

In their pioneering work on the hadal waters, Mantyla and Reid (2) succeeded in hadal water sampling at ~10000 m depth by applying specially designed free-vehicle instruments for the measurement of hydrographic properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrients) in the Marianas Trench area (11-13[degrees]N, 142-146[degrees]E) of the western Pacific Ocean.

In 2009 Katherine Abu Hadal had her first taste of Yemeni food at a nondescript restaurant in Sana'a.

Flatfish are primarily a littoral order with some bathyal representatives, but they lack an abyssal species, let alone a hadal one (1).

Alleged Al-Qaeda operative Khaled Hadal Al-Qahtani, who figured high on a list of 47 most-wanted terrorists, surrendered in May this year to Saudi security authorities.

The prints represent both scientific data, rarely seen images of geothermal activity in the abyssal and hadal zones, and formal compositions, elegant black-and-white abstractions.

The trip to the floor of the Marianas Trench took them from the sunlit world to the ebony-black abyss of the "hadal zone," beginning at approximately 20,000 feet.

It lies in the hadal zone beyond the abyssal zone, and plunges down to a water depth of around 11 kilometers.
