Biodiversity is an important indicator of the health and functioning of underwater ecosystems. However, deep-sea environments remain largely unknown, due to the irregularity of the landscapes and the challenging conditions in the depths of the Ocean. The aim of the ERC CODEMAP project, Dr Huvenne's research funded by the ERC, is to map complex deep-sea habitats, quantify habitat heterogeneity and test its potential as a proxy for biodiversity.
