Totally forgot to post this.....our take on Men at Work's "Land Down Under", repurposed for the deep sea! Thanks for following along....I have more photos to post and a whoooole other cruise coming up in a few months, so stay tuned!
Video by Lisa Strong, singing done by me, Lisa, and Grieg. Guitar played by Young James, and ukelele by Trevor!
so the flotation on one of our elevators that we use to take shit to and from the seafloor totally imploded.....the floats are essentially glass balls. fucking INSANE. i've got pictures, will be sure to post!
here are some shots of the lab spaces on the R/V Atlantis, along with some of the scientists! we don't have a ton of space, but we use EVERY inch! my lab space is awesome, because we're separate from the main lab and can have our own music blasting while we build geochemistry samplers and/or remove water samples after collection.
Ask a JASON Pilot!
ROV pilot Akel answers all your questions about the JASON ROV! Even who would win in a fight between JASON and the submersible Alvin!
What is an Elevator?
Learn about these workhorses of deep sea science that we use to get equipment and samples from the surface to the seafloor!
An Octopus's Garden
Check out the sea life living around one of our seafloor observatories! For more, check out http://explorationnow.org/atlantis
Everyone can be a part of our current expedition to the Juan de Fuca Ridge flank off the coast of Oregon and Washington! We're broadcasting all our dives with the ROV JASON LIVE on the internet!! Through this website you can also ask questions, learn about our science team and the technology we're utilizing, read blogs from our education team, and see what life on a research vessel is really like!!
When we're not diving, the camera will be turned on the main lab where researchers are doing groundbreaking geochemical, geophysical, and microbiological research. Once we get our audio issue resolved, we'll be narrating what's going on during the dives live on-air.
Join us and watch deep sea science as it happens! We should be starting our second dive shortly.
So, what is a CORK anyways?
Check out this video to find out what makes up a CORK, and how it's not just something you find in a bottle of champagne!
Return to Juan de Fuca......the purpose of our 2013 research cruise!
I'm out at sea aboard the R/V Atlantis with the ROV JASON...learn more about why we're here doing this research in this video courtesy of Lisa Strong and others! We're in the Pacific visiting our long-term subseafloor observatories to help us learn more about the workings of how fluid moves inside the ocean crust!!
we'll be back soon...
lots of stuff pending...2, potentially 3 different cruises this summer/fall, a talk at WHOI, and more blatherings from this postdoc.
GUYS. this is what we can do now with technology. the MARUM’s ROV Quest is down on the bottom exploring the northeast Lau Basin’s vent fields. there’s a bunch of my colleagues narrating what you see on the live feed.
well, shit.
cruise is cancelled. idiots blew their Z-drive. *eyeroll*
RIP: Sally Ride, at 61: Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, has died after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 61.
In addition to flying for NASA — “All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary,” she once said – Ride was a physicist and a science writer.
After retiring from space, she founded Sally Ride Science, an organization created to inspire young people, especially girls, to stick with their interest in science, and pursue careers in science and engineering.
[sallyridescience]
So terribly sad. I wrote a report on her back in elementary school in the 80s. I think many female science-inclined students did. :(
You will be missed, Sally.
Osmo coil cruise prep! using the peristaltic pumps to fill our sampler coils (1000 feet of tubing on each) with acid to prep them for deployment. we'll let them sit for a few days, then replace the acid with water before they're put down on the seafloor, where they'll collect fluid samples from inside the ocean crust continually for a year. sure feels nice to be back in a chemistry lab after 6 years!
T minus 2 weeks (roughly) until the 2012 JdF research cruise!
Hey guys, so just a quick FYI that in about 2 weeks I'll be headed back out to sea for the yearly research cruise to the Juan de Fuca ridge flank! We'll be using the JASON remotely operated vehicle on the Thomas G. Thompson, which is UW's ship, leaving from and returning to Seattle, WA. I started prepping yesterday.....pumping out some coils at the moment (more on WTF I'm talking about here later) and gathering all the supplies we'll need for 2 weeks of SCIENCE at sea.
Be sure to follow this tumblr if you're curious about the science I did for my PhD and what I've just started doing as part of my postdoctoral work at MBARI in CA (amazingly enough they ARE related!). Also cool photos of life at sea, our wild-ass geochemistry lab, purple coveralls, and lots of seafloor and ROV porn.

Art projects from expedition 301 - styrofoam cups crushed and shrunk by the pressure when sent down to the deep-sea
This is easily my favorite way to spend free time at sea...making squish cups for myself and my friends. I shrunk a wig head once....that thing is creepy.
Underwater volcano offered warnings ahead of eruption Using robot submarines and underwater microphones, researchers can monitor sound waves and hydrothermal vents for volcanic activity.
This is kind of what I do....except we use CORKs to do it, and we usually detect seismicity well after it's happened (because we only can download data once per year). We have one CORK (1026B) hooked up to NEPTUNE Canada's cabled observatory, which does let us get our data in real time. When I woke up to news about Japan's tsunami in 2011, I immediately logged onto the NEPTUNE site and was able to watch the tsunami wave transit over 1026B and perturb the seafloor and borehole pressures.
