The flexe team

flexe has been developed by educators and scientists from:

• Ridge 2000, a long-term program of scientific research into mid-ocean ridges and related tectonic systems **
• CSATS, an initiative to support collaborations between scientists and schools

flexe will also involve scientists from:

• InterRidge, a non-profit organization concerned with promoting all aspects of mid-ocean ridge research
• ChEss, a global study of the biogeography of deep-water chemosynthetic ecosystems and the processes that drive them
