The Mariana Trench biology website sponsored by SmarterScience includes information pertaining to microbial life at the bottom of the world’s deepest oceanic trench. This biology link focuses on the unique characteristics of microbial and eukaryotic organisms that can survive under high water pressures. Links to additional information on sea floor hydrothermal vents and deep sea environments through the USGS and NOVA can also be found within this page.
