The Seamount rises to 975 m(3,189 ft)
below sea level and generates frequent earthquake swarms, the most intense of which occurred between July 16-August 9, 1996(more than 4,000 events).
In collaboration with some of the world's best ocean scientists and engineers, they have tested new technologies in the deep sea for exploring other ocean worlds, demonstrated multiple vehicles using AI for real-time decision making at sea, identified countless new species, and discovered and
named 12 underwater features including Schmidt Seamount and Falkor Seamount.
