During a recent dive on the New England Seamount chain off the North Atlantic coast, researchers aboard the NOAA Ocean Exploration Expedition, North Atlantic Stepping Stones, discovered a marine geological feature known as a ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) nodule field in the saddle between two peaks of Gosnold Seamount.
2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones Expedition

July 14, 2021
At 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Wednesday, July 14, you are invited to join a live event introducing the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones: New England and Corner Rise Seamounts expedition.
Expedition Coordinator Kasey Cantwell will join biology Science Lead Rhian Waller of the University of Maine, geology Science Co-Leads Jason Chaytor and Kira Mizell, of the U.S. Geological Survey, and onshore scientist Chris Mah of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History for a discussion about the exploration, followed by a question and answer session with the audience.
This public talk introduces the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones expedition, taking place from June 30 to July 29, 2021. This expedition will expand on previous NOAA Ocean Exploration expeditions in the New England Seamounts which took place in 2013 and 2014.

The Global Marine Mineral Resources project studies deep ocean minerals that occur within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and areas beyond national jurisdictions. Our research concerns the setting, genesis, and metal enrichment processes of mineral occurrences, the relationship between marine minerals related and deep-sea biota, and the potential geochemical footprint of any seafloor mining.
