NOAA Ship Ron Brown - ROV Cruise

Phoenix Vent at ASHES.

ROPOS returned to the surface after a full dive (#624) at the ASHES vent field which included vent fluid sampling, slurp sampling, and positioning larval traps and settling arrays on the seafloor. After the dive the interactive fluid sampler mooring was lowered from the ship and on the next dive ROPOS will position it at Cloud vent for a 24-36 hour deployment. More...

R/V Wecoma - CTD Cruise

Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of oceanography, compared to most other natural sciences, is the high premium placed on adaptability. At sea we are a laboratory isolated from shoreside resources and obliged to perform our experiments within a strictly predetermined amount of time (other scientists are waiting at the dock for their valuable time on the ship). We have been painfully reminded of those limitations today. More...

NOAA Ship Ron Brown - Jeff Goodrich

297, 298, 299, 299.9 degrees Celsius.......(a quiet pause)....... We just couldn't break 300. A hydrothermal playground, the ASHES vent field has black smokers, diffuse vents, tube worms, and everything else that excites scientists about these submarine hot springs.

R/V Wecoma - Missy Holzer

It's been a busy week on the R/V Wecoma and the NeMO CTD cruise. Our visit to Axial volcano has kept our feet wet and instrumentation running while we gathered more and more data about hydrothermal vents and the behavior of undersea volcanoes. We keep track of our progress by plotting all of our mooring locations, CTD casts, and tow-yo transects on a color-coded topographic map of the Axial volcano region. More...

Participant Perspective

Interview with Susan Hanneman
Research Assistant / Navigator NOAA/PMEL

Jeff: When did you work at Bob Embley's lab as his research assistant.

Susan: From 1985 to 1991 I worked with the NOAA EOI Program. Since then they've hired me to work on a part-time basis to go to sea when they need camera sled work, navigation or general support. It really makes you feel like an antique when most of the ships you started on have been decommissioned and sold to developing countries. More...
