On 1 Dec 2023, a group of students and teachers have boarded the HADALX Research Vessel in Tsim Sha Tsui. The Shen Kuo Research Vessel was designed by China Ship Scientific Research Center, and built and operated by Tehe Ocean Technology Group. Since 2018, the vessel has completed more than 30 oceanic research missions, visiting the world's deepest trench, the Mariana Trench, on several occasions to conduct deep-sea exploration missions. Professor Qiong ZHANG and Professor Longjun WU from our department were invited to give an on-site presentation related to topics like ancient ocean and coral bleaching, giving the public some fundamental knowledge about Ocean Science.
