SCIMPI Subsea Borehole Observatory

Nope. Not cool.

Boosting…

Ooh ooh 👋

Scientists went hunting for freshwater deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. What they found could have global implications | CNN An international team of scientists spent three months at sea drilling into a huge, mysterious reservoir of freshwater under the salty ocean. They hope it could help tackle an increasingly severe glob...

Love the attention @ecord.bsky.social Expedition 501 is receiving, and of course our entire SCIMPI team is thrilled with having been part of the expedition.

Fantastic!

Wowza!

More aurora…

Did you catch the aurora? 🤩

Fantastic way to start a Tuesday 😉

Scientists tap 'secret' fresh water under the ocean, raising hopes for a thirsty world Scientists conducting a first-of-its-kind drilling operation have extracted samples of fresh water hiding in massive reservoirs deep under the ocean.

“Four parts per thousand was a eureka moment,” Dugan said, because the finding suggested that the water must have been connected to a terrestrial system in the past, or still is.

Yayyysss! And our team worked with the crew to deploy SCIMPI to collect subsea data.

SCIMPI History: The SHRIMPI — Transcend Engineering Simple Cabled Instrument Measuring Parameters In-Situ (SCIMPI) is modular, when deployed down a borehole the components are separated by floats to maintain their position. A command module is position...

Re-upping. A little distraction before bedtime from the news of the day.

Oh this is a cool time lapse. Our Chief Technologist Steve took video this leaving the L/B Robert scientific drill ship (yup, that's it way up above the water!) on the transport vessel the Gaspee. #ScientificOceanDrilling #Expedition501 🌊

Bluesky now platform of choice for science community It’s not just you. Survey says: “Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky”…

Nicely done! 🙌

*there. Sigh.

Expeditions can be weeks or months long and accommodate crew who are their for a short time to perform their speciality. How does the crew switch out? From the supply ship, which is much smaller than the expedition vessels, so a Billy Pugh basket is loaded with the crew for the transfer. Hang on!

SCIMPI: An origin story. — Transcend Engineering The first SCIMPI prototype was deployed in May 2013 during IODP Expedition 341S—but that’s not where the story begins. Like many breakthroughs in science, SCIMPI’s origin is a story of vision, persist...

Even a SCIMPI has an origin story, here's mine...

"What scientific ocean drilling has done for the nation and globally is yielded a staggering amount of information about Earth history" “The breadth of the science that is done in this program is pretty exciting and you don't have to be a trained marine geologist to appreciate that.” This quote comes from Carl Brenner, the director of...

The latest #TalesFromTheDeep episode on the StoryCorps Archive is from Carl Brenner, director of the U.S. Science Support Program for scientific ocean drilling. Take a listen to Carl's background -you might be surprised at what he majored in at college- and his leadership role in this community. 🌊⚒️

I’m on it! I’ve been using Rush to edit Procreate timelapses. This will be fun. Thank you to you and the eels😉

Oh man, I'm a ProCreate user and clearly not paying attention! 😅

It is a hoot! What software did you use to make it?
