Whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale descends to the ocean floor, becoming a rare source of abundance in the abyssal zone. Jack Lohmann’s White Light and Sabrina Imbler’s How Far the Light Reaches explore whale fall as a cornerstone of deep sea ecology, and as a source of wisdom for how death begets life.

In this study, we’ll join Lohmann and Imbler in attending to the possibilities for life to emerge from decay, with whale fall as our inspiration.
