Video Contributions
Luckily, I have got the chance to participate in short videos about deep sea mining and working on a research vessel. Here you can find some links and YouTube videos.

My Neighbor's a Scientist is a video series that aims to highlight diversity in scientists and scientific fields. In this video, Dr. Otte tells us about her research on manganese nodules and microbial communities from the deep sea.

Geomar SO268 Microbiology Interview
Dr. Frank Wenzhöfer and Dr. Julia Otte (both Alfred-Wegener-Institute, Helmholtz-Centre for Polar and Marine Research, AWI and Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, MPI) talk about their research biogeochemical processes, ecosystem functioning, and microbiological diversity in the sediment of the deep-sea to better understand how these might be affected by deep-sea mining.

Impacts and Risks of deep sea mining - Geomar
This video was filmed during the research cruise SO268-2 with RV SONNE from April to May 2019.
The expedition is integrated into the second phase of the European JPI-Oceans joint project MiningImpact, which investigates the ecological impact of deep sea mining.
A video by Steffen Niemann, GEOMAR; J. Otte participation Min. 4:44-5:08.

Nickel, Kobalt und Mangan sollen zwischen Mexiko und Hawaii in rauen Mengen liegen. Doch der Abbau ist umstritten.

MiningImpact2: Interview with Dr. Frank Wenzhöfer and Dr. Julia Otte on their microbiological research on board of RV SONNE (expedition SO268).
In this video, Dr. Frank Wenzhöfer and Dr. Julia Otte (both Alfred-Wegener-Institute, Helmholtz-Centre for Polar and Marine Research, AWI and Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, MPI) talk about their research biogeochemical processes, ecosystem functioning, and microbiological diversity in the sediment of the deep-sea to better understand how these might be affected by deep-sea mining. MiningImpact 2 “Impacts and Risks of Deep-Sea Mining” (2018-2022, funded by JPI-Oceans) is the second phase of the MiningImpact project. It studies the (1) the larger scale environmental impact caused by the suspended sediment plume, (2) the regional connectivity of species and the biodiversity of biological assemblages and their resilience to impacts, and (3) the integrated effects on ecosystem functions, such as the benthic food web and biogeochemical processes. The project consortium comprises 29 research institutions from 9 European countries and the International Seabed Authority based in Kingston, Jamaica.
