SCIMPI Subsea Borehole Observatory
@scimpi.bsky.social
SCIMPI is an inexpensive subsea borehole observatory for unconsolidated sediments. Just deployed on IODP³-NSF/ECORD Exp. 501: New England Shelf Hydrogeology. Let's discuss your scientific ocean drilling project. https://www.transcendengineering.com/scimpi

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!

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. 🌊⚒️
"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...
