In The Dark Frontier, marine microbiologist and expert deep-sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow plunges us into the unreachable realm and invites us into close-up encounters with its hidden brilliance. There are translucent shrimp that dance through sulfurous vents, crabs that stretch twelve feet from claw to claw and the eerie chalk-white towers of the 'Lost City'. Immersive and illuminating, Marlow's journeys heed warnings too: our reach is exceeding our grasp. We are irrevocably changing the deep sea before we even know it.
This expansive book offers crucial and surprising insights into the birthplace of life on ancient Earth. It shows how life can thrive in even the most extreme conditions and expands our understanding of possibilities - and our responsibilities - on earth and beyond.
Jeffrey Marlow is a deep-sea explorer, published scholar, international science policy adviser and experienced journalist. He studies the role that microorganisms play in deep-sea environments and the amazing metabolic tools they have evolved to handle the challenging environmental conditions they face. Alongside his deep-sea work he has conducted original research on the search for life of Mars, serving on the science teams for NASA's robotic missions. Marlow is Assistant Professor of Biology at Boston University, having completed an M.Phil. as a Marshall Scholar at Imperial College London, a PhD. at the California Institute of Technology, and postdoctoral work at Harvard University, where he worked as a Research Associate for over five years. He has also served as a representative of the scientific community at the United Nations, and is both a National Geographic Emerging Explorer and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
