“I’m already looking forward to going back someday.” “It was one of those times when you say, ‘Oh, if I only had one more dive, I know I could learn so much more,” said WHOI volcanologist Adam Soule, who was in Alvin when Rose Bowl was found. The shape of the vent site-and its lineage-suggested what the expedition would name it: “Rose Bowl.” White crabs crawled its perimeter, and anemones and mussels populated its center. Then, during the 2005 expedition’s final dive, researchers in Alvin came across a concave, ring-shaped area on the seafloor about 10 meters (30 feet) in diameter. Celebrating his 40th birthday at sea, Shank found that the communities at Rosebud were at full bloom, maturing into midlife. This spring, Shank returned to Rosebud to continue learning about the conditions that foster life at vent sites and that shift the demographics of animals living in vent communities. In homage, they named this new vent site “Rosebud.” His dashed hopes were partially allayed when, nearby, expedition researchers found tiny tubeworms, thumb-sized mussels, and other new life that probably arose in the aftermath that destroyed Rose Garden. In 2002, now a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Shank co-led an expedition back to Rose Garden to see how the animals, geology, and fluid chemistryhad changed since scientists last visited it a decade before.īut over several Alvin dives, it became disappointingly apparent to Shank that Rose Garden had been paved over by erupting lava. As he pursued a career in marine biology, Shank began learning about the famous Rose Garden, where scientists first learned of the amazing ways that vent animals adapt to live in their extreme environment. “It wasn’t until college that the animals and geology of hydrothermal vents really caught my eye,” Shank said. Two years later, Shank still wasn’t paying much attention to the news when returning scientists, looking out Alvin’s view ports, saw rows of slender white tubes with blood-red worms poking our of their tips, The scene resembled a field of giant long-stemmed roses, and so scientists christened the vent site “Rose Garden.” My vote is three.Tim Shank was a 12-year-old shortstop on North Carolina ballfields in 1977 when scientists in the submersible Alvin made a startling discovery near the Galápagos Islands: Lush communities of animals thrived on the sunless seafloor, living on chemicals venting from the volcanic ocean bottom. Some surrealistic situations slightly recalled Buñuel style, but I am not daring to compare Ana Carolina with the master of the surrealism. Norma Bengell gives an outstanding performance in the role of the frustrated and wounded Felicidade and is the best this movie offers to the viewer, since the screenplay is too much bizarre for my taste. Yesterday I saw 'Mar de Rosas' for the first time and honestly I did not like it. In their house, the deranged Betinha provokes the most weird and surrealistic situations, when each character discloses innermost revelations. Dirceu (Ary Fontoura), a pretentious poet and frustrated dentist, help Felicidade. In a small town, Felicidade tries to get away from Orlando, but a bus hits her and Dona Niobi (Miriam Muniz) and Dr. After an incident in a gas station caused by Betinha, they are introduced to Orlando Barde (Otávio Augusto), the driver of the Beetle, and they decide to travel together in the small car to São Paulo. In the highway, she notes that a black Volkswagen Beetle is following their car. Felicidade believes she has killed Sérgio and she decides to escape to São Paulo with Betinha in the family's car. Sérgio (Hugo Carvana), Felicidade (Norma Bengell) and Betinha (Cristina Pereira) compose a dysfunctional family, and while traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Sérgio and Felicidade have another serious altercation, culminating with the aggression of Felicidade with a razor blade on Sergio's neck in a motel.
