He has participated in and led dozens of oceanographic expeditions taken him to the Antarctic and the most remote regions of the Pacific and Atlantic. Craig’s research focuses on how energy drives the biology of marine invertebrates from individuals to ecosystems, specifically, seeking to uncover how organisms are adapted to different levels of carbon availability, i.e. food, and how this determines the kinds and number of species in different parts of the oceans. Additionally, Craig is obsessed with the size of things. Sometimes this translated into actually scientific research. Craig’s research has been featured on National Public Radio, Discovery Channel, Fox News, National Geographic and ABC News. In addition to his scientific research, Craig also advocates the need for scientists to connect with the public and is the founder and chief editor of the acclaimed Deep-Sea News (http://jiaxiangsuji.com/), a popular ocean-themed blog that has won numerous awards. His writing has been featured in Cosmos, Science Illustrated, American Scientist, Wired, Mental Floss, and the Open Lab: The Best Science Writing on the Web.
Mautilus目前被许可才能进行海床勘探。它’S的调查结果可以导致寻求PNG政府的牌照进行海床采矿。它认为,它正在远离传统渔场的活动,环境影响很低。我们强烈反驳了这支促使Nautilus为一名独立顾问提供资金,以便在勘探活动之前,期间和之后进行巴布亚新几内亚的Bismark Seas进行风险评估。我们已经获得了通过PNG的陆地矿山造成的不可追溯的环境,社会,物理和其他相关损害的足够的学习经验,并不希望这是挖掘公司的另一场游乐场,以便为自己的利润进行实验。
