If you were thinking, "Gee, I wish there was video of that elf making the #HOVAlvin recovery," well, we got you covered. All business no matter what the getup. @NSF#NSFfunded@USNavyResearch@unols
New divers are the life blood of the deep-sea research community and the #HOVAlvin program. Congratulations to all. Where do you want to dive next? @NSF@USNavyResearch@unols#NSFfunded
Congratulations to 12 new Alvin divers on our #biofilms4larvae cruise, including three members of the Larval Lab: Vanessa, Tanika, and Wyatt!
Thank you for your hard work as aquanauts and a successful cruise!

#Throwback to the #1969 recovery of #HOVAlvin after 10 months at 5,000 ft. Besides these canned rations, apples and a bologna sandwich were found to still be edible–evidence that near-freezing temps & low O2 aids preservation. Go back in time with Alvin! bit.ly/3NPvKng
How's that saying go about "red sky at morning"? 🤢
Check out this update from the ongoing Escanaba Trough expedition with @oceanexplorer@WHOI@BOEM : ow.ly/Wgk650Jrt75
Critical to scientific operations aboard the Escanaba Trough expedition are submersible robots that allow researchers to observe seafloor features and collect data from depths seldom visited by humans: ow.ly/9LLJ50Jqs0x@oceanexplorer@BOEM@WHOI @rvthomasgthompson
Larvae from the #veligervoyage with @SymbiosisRox at hydrothermal vents in the Lau Basin! So many beautiful gastropod veligers on this snail cruise! Can you name all the other larval types?
Thanks to @WHOI’s #AUVSentry and #ROVJason for our larval collections.
