This was my first cruise, but I loved the lifestyle. It is tons of constant work, and you are always exhausted, but it is terrific to constantly be at sea. And we do get time here and there to read, or just enjoy the ocean. So even though it is a lot of work, it is totally worth it.
Thanks,
Steve Tuorto

Bacteria grow the same way we do. We eat the nutrients we need to get energy, grow and keep our bodies healthy. Some bacteria do this in strange ways, but most of the bacteria on earth do this the same way we do… they eat a carbon source that has the nutrients they need, and their cells break it down into all of the parts they need.
Thanks for the question,
Steve Tuorto

But many of the smaller animals have a much bigger impact on the ecosystem. For instance, if you add up all the copepods in the ocean, they will weigh more than any other animals on earth.. even all the elephants or whales all added together do not weigh more than all of the copepods.
Thanks,
Dr Steve

What role does the ocean play in climate change?

I was wondering if you enjoy the lifestyle of going on research trips and working on a boat. I know it is work, but is there time to stop and enjoy it?
