Research



This project builds upon the successful ["Fishing for jellyfish" zooniverse project](https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/cbellhouse/fishing-for-jellyfish-galaxies), and was born in the context of the [Chilean galaxy Evolution Survey](https://chances.uda.cl/) (CHANCES 4MOST project) and the [Millenium Nucleus for Galaxies, MINGAL](www.nucleomingal.cl). 

We are an international group of researchers, mostly based in Chile, studying galaxy transformations across the cosmic web.
