Ken Rubin is a geochemist, geologist and volcanologist who works on land and at sea. In the oceans he uses visual, chemical, and sonar observations of the sea floor, as well as laboratory-based studies of rock samples collected from the sea to study active and very recent geological processes. He focuses on eruption histories and … Continued

Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) SuBastian is recovered after a 13-hour dive. The ROV is connected to the ship via a tether that allows the robot to be piloted and transfers power, data, and video feeds. What is an ROV? ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle. It is an underwater robot, sometimes known as a remote-controlled … Continued
Kevin is a Seattle based freelance and commercial photographer, often found working projects in remote backcountry winter environments, underwater, outside moving vehicles, tucked away corners of the globe and busy streets of major cities. He has been shooting for over seven years, and before this was focused on video production. He isn’t all creative, in … Continued
Scott White is a geological oceanographer who uses sonars, visual observations, GIS and remote-sensing to understand the processes that shape the seabed. Specifically, he works on understanding the variety and distribution of different submerged landscapes, both in space and time. Scott and his students at the University of South Carolina develop or use computers for … Continued
Clark Sherman is a professor in the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez. Clark did his graduate work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where he studied the geology and sea-level history of Pleistocene reefs on the island of Oahu. He has continued studying the geology of both modern and … Continued
The primary goal of this study was to create a series of 1-cm resolution 3D models of vent groups found in Tongan waters, specifically on the Northeastern Lau Basin. These models then formed the reference for layered environmental maps at unprecedented resolution that can help define the nature of venting, fluid temperature/chemistry, and animal clusters … Continued
Katherine (Kate) Herries is a Master’s candidate at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her current research focuses on reconstructing sea level rise during the last deglaciation. She is using U-Th dating techniques on Hawaiian corals to resolve the age of the glacial meltwater pulse 1a. She is also analyzing the coral samples for post-mortem … Continued
The cruise, led by Dr. Charles Fisher from Pennsylvania State University and Dr. Peter Girguis from Harvard University, examined the patterns and changes in biological, geological and chemical characteristics of hydrothermal vents. The team conducted complimentary surveys, sampling, and laboratory experiments facilitated by the remotely operated vehicle ROPOS. Expansive sonar mapping wias used to characterize … Continued
Dr. Brendan Roark is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Texas A&M University. Brendan is a paleoceanographer whose research emphasis is in stable isotope biogeochemistry, trace metal analyses, and geochronology using radiocarbon and U/Th dating methods to study ocean and climate variability over the last 50,000 years. He has been doing research … Continued
