Fantastic!
Can you help me get to 10,000 views on our @sciam.bsky.social short film about the clash of scientists and corporations in the deep sea? 🪸
This would make our funder @pulitzercenter.org very happy. ☺️
It’s free to watch now on YouTube. We are half way to our goal! 📈

“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.

Also making a plea for new research ship to replace the JOIDES Resolution and continuation of deep sea drilling -post IODP 2 - as still lots of new discoveries to make and under-explored regions.

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 🌊

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!
