在西北印度洋，中国大洋94航次正在开展水体调查，重点关注人类活动和气候变化双重影响下海洋环境 变化和缺氧现象驱动机制、生物多样性演变和适应机制等科学问题，为该区域生物多样性保护提供有效 的科学支撑。 2月13日起航的中国大洋95航次考察队，正在驶向西南印度洋执行多金属硫化物资源勘探和环境基线调 查任务，将为我国硫化物矿区资源评价和环境评估工作提供重要数据资料。该航次首席科学家陶春辉表 示，海底硫化物的勘探与环境评价是一个国际难题，我国采用自主研发的海底钻机、深海硫化物孔域原 位观测探测系统、硫化物厚度探测系统等高新技术，将对矿区的海底硫化物资源量开展精细勘探。 在西北太平洋，中国大洋91航次在我国北京先驱公司多金属结核合同区开展了资源环境调查。目前，调 查已获取了合同区资源分布特征、合同区冬季环境参数，为未来采矿装备试验的环境影响评估工作提供 支撑。 新春佳节，在遥远的大洋上，依然有4支中国科考队在开展大洋考察。自20世纪70年代我国开展大洋科 学考察起，浩瀚无垠的大洋和奔腾汹涌的海浪就见证着我国在大洋科考领域取得的丰硕成果。 在西太平洋，搭载"蛟龙"号载人潜水器的"深海一号"船正在执行西太平洋科学考察航次， ...

Core Viewpoint - The China Ocean 95 expedition is set to conduct scientific research in the Southwest Indian Ocean, focusing on the evaluation of resources and environmental conditions in the first international seabed sulfide mining area approved by the International Seabed Authority, which is also China's only sulfide mining area in international waters [1][6]. Group 1: Expedition Overview - The China Ocean 95 expedition is organized by the Second Institute of Oceanography under the Ministry of Natural Resources and is approved by the China Ocean Affairs Administration [1]. - The expedition will utilize multiple sets of domestically developed deep-sea advanced equipment to conduct comprehensive investigations of geological and ecological environments in the deep-sea hydrothermal area [1][3]. Group 2: Scientific Goals - The chief scientist of the expedition, Tao Chunhui, emphasized that the exploration and environmental assessment of seabed sulfides is an international challenge, and the use of advanced technologies will facilitate detailed exploration of resource quantities in the mining area [3]. - The first segment chief scientist, Liao Shili, stated that the data and samples collected during this expedition will provide critical support for resource evaluation in the contracted area and will be essential for future deep-sea mining efforts [5]. Group 3: Expedition Details - The expedition is being carried out on the "Daiyang" vessel, which was independently designed and built in China, and involves 36 team members from 13 domestic institutions [6]. - The expedition is expected to complete its tasks and return to China by April of this year [6].
