Exploring Bioluminescent Proteins in Arctic Waters
Under The Pole Expedition Dives Deep with OCEAN OPTICS
Marcel Koken (mhmkoken@gmail.com) is a Ph.D.-level research scientist and molecular biologist from CNRS-LABOCEA who has spent a large part of his career working on characteristics of bioluminescence and fluorescence in proteins and organisms.
In a recent conversation, Dr. Koken described his research and the use of an Ocean Optics spectrometer as part of the Under The Pole (UTP) undersea expeditions, a series of research ventures begun in 2010 to “learn exactly what’s happening in our oceans,” as its director, Ghislain Bardout, explains on the organization’s website.
The following material has been edited for clarity. All images shown here are courtesy of Under The Pole. We thank UTP, Dr. Koken and our representative in France, IDIL Fibres Optiques, for their assistance.
