Starting from end-February, she was part of a scientific cruise to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone with researchers and scientists from other institutions as part of an environmental survey organised by Keppel Corporation. Dr Rajala’s goal was to collect samples from the depths to study how high pressures in the deep sea alters corrosion induced by microbes. Her project also targets iron-cycling microbes and looks into sulphate-reducing bacteria commonly linked to corrosion, and methanogenic archaea that thrive in low-oxygen conditions.
