New deep-sea technologies allow for research on life at the deep-seafloor of the ocean. The aim is to understand how ecosystems are functioning in the deep sea, so that any future mining for minerals at the seabed can be done sustainably and responsibly, says Professor Mienert.<\/p>\n<p><em>RV\u00a0Sonne<\/em> is a brand new ship, 116 metres long and has cost \u20ac124 million to build. A 35 person strong crew will make it possible for up to 40 scientists to do around the clock research aboard the vessel. Professor Mienert is a marine geologist with decades of experience aboard research vessels such as <em>RV Sonne<\/em>. He is happy that investments are being made in marine research for gaining future knowledge about the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>\u2212 Research vessels are as important as satellites, so it is a special day when a country invests in them.<\/p>\n<p>J\u00fcrgen Mienert is also a member of the advisory board for two other German research vessels: <em>Meteor<\/em> and <em>Maria S.
