Schmidt Ocean Institue Acquires New Research Vessel To Expand Ability To Explore, Research The Ocean March 23, 2021 Schmidt Ocean Institute announced today it has acquired a new research … Continued
Research vessel Falkor is set to take off from Hobart, as one of the TTIDE cruises.
The team has done lots of training to get ready for this cruise aboard Falkor.
R/V Falkor (too) Working Decks and Deployment Systems The vessel provides a tremendous amount of space and tools for deploying systems to study the ocean. The 900 square meter (9,678 square feet) aft deck hosts the large moon pool, and winches and frames for over-the-side deployments. The vessel's 20.9 meter diameter helideck can support vertical … Continued

The time has finally come to start our exploration of Perth Canyon and so we left dock early this morning to get a first glimpse of what lies ahead. However, as mentioned in a previous post, not everything always goes according to plan – and in our case we are still missing one part for … Continued
I started my PhD this year at University of Western Australia (UWA), working with Ryan Lowe who is also currently on Falkor. I am collecting data to investigate the nutrient dynamics and productivity of Scott Reef, and how this relates to the physical oceanographic processes over the system. Modelling has shown that open ocean water … Continued
One of the joys of exploration is getting surprised. And boy, were we surprised when we found a lava flow on the seafloor that looks like it could have erupted yesterday! It is right in the area where we found big plumes and the most intense chemical anomalies during the last CTD tow-yo on what we … Continued
Marine Technician Jimbo (Paul Duncan) has spent all night, every night, for 24 nights keeping the Falkor’s multibeam sonar operational and recording data. The sonar sends “pings” of sound to the sea floor. The pings bounce back. The length of time between sending and receiving can be converted to depth. Each pulse sends over 400 … Continued
Traducción al español disponible a continuación Written by Julie Huber and Dave Butterfield Given bad weather to the north at the Kane Fracture Zone, we decided to test our strategy for finding active hydrothermal vents at the Puy de Folles vent field. Previous work by French and Russian colleagues at this site focused on inactive … Continued
