Image Description: NEPTUNE’s 3,000-km network of fiber-optic/power cables will encircle and cross the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate. Between 30 and 50 experimental sites will be established at nodes along the cable and will be instrumented to interact with physical, chemical, and biological phenomena that operate across multiple scales of space and time. Node locations shown here are hypothetical. Final decisions on placement will depend on science input and engineering considerations. Extensions to mid ocean areas would extend the footprint of the NEPTUNE network.
