let me show you the oceanographic institute of Paris ( part of Albert the First fondation that include monaco museum too, another post from Ob has describing this part) http://www.oceano.org/io/index.php?lang=fr
last Wenesday,I went to a meeting : the subject was hydrothermal wents and cold seeps ecosystems.
The Professor Aline Fiala-Médioni presented to us hydrothermal wents and cold seeps ecosystems, with an discovers history of this ecosystems ( with US Alvin and French Nautile DSV's)
She is specialized on Benthic production chimiosynthetic based : bacteria, molluscs models is a former member of Banyuls sur Mer obeservatory and IFREMER.
The meeting was particulary axed on a Popularization aspect, most of the persons were only Greenhorns or amators.Despite of this fact few students and oceanographs were here. This meeting was interesting.
I did'nt learn a lot more that i knew but it was interesting to meet and listen one of the scientists involved in this sutdies since the 80's. ( damned ! it was almost 30 years ago !)
It was also an Opportunity to visit a part of the institute and particulary the big Amphitheatre of this institute, dedicaced on the "Albert the 1st" campaigns between 1875 and 1915.
let me show you somes pictures ( poor quality but I didn't have my camera but only my mobile phone camera .. )
At first : the institute from outside, notice the octopus on the front of the entry

Aline Fiala-Médioni , professor at the university Paris 6 and the former deputy director of the oceanological Observatory of Banyuls-sur-Mer, is an marine ecopsychologist , she studied first of all the littoral rocky substrata. She was then interested in the filtreurs bodies to specialize, since 1982, on the study of the symbiotic models of the deep zones of hydrothermal wents and cold seeps. She participated in twenty oceanographic campaigns with dive in submarine up to 6000 meters
