The Pioneer-18 cruise is underway as of 8 April, with three surface moorings moved from their staging area on the WHOI campus (pictured), and moved…
Ready to go home
At the end of an expedition everyone’s eager to get home. Here the R/V Sikuliaq approaches NOAA’s pier in Newport, OR, but there’s one more…
OOI team members on trap
It’s a tradition for folks to sign the sediment traps as they are put out for six months at sea. This trap contains the names…
OSU greetings
Sediment trap team leader Jennifer Fehrenbacher (Oregon State Univ.) takes a photograph of the sediment trap signature that contains the names of her and Claudia…
Sediment trap signatures
During Endurance 16, the R/V Sikuliaq went out to the OOI Regional Cabled Array Slope Base site to turn a sediment trap as part of…
Ten moorings to be recovered
During Pioneer 18, ten moorings will be recovered. Once close to the ship, crew members grab the moorings with a hook, and direct them to…
Glider deployments
Three gliders will be deployed during Pioneer 18 and remain in the water for the next six months, collecting data in the water column between…
Remotely operated vehicle operations
Weather conditions and time constraints during the Pioneer 17 cruise precluded complete recovery of the Offshore and Upstream Offshore Profiler Moorings. If time and conditions…
Two-leg expedition
The Pioneer 18 Recovery and Deployment mission will be conducted in two legs. The back deck of the R/V Armstrong will be filled with equipment…
Crane castle
For OOI Endurance mooring operations, the team relies on the excellent lifting equipment offered by the R/V Sikuliaq. Here a recovered surface buoy (about 20…
Wet Lab view
On this cruise, most of the work occurs on deck as the team deploys and recovers oceanographic moorings. However, at each site, the team takes…
Pre-deployment checkout
Each OOI oceanographic mooring carries more than 20 sensors and takes months to prepare for deployment. To make sure everything is working and ready to…
Working to the weather
Spring in the North Pacific can bring pretty high winds and seas. When the Endurance 16 team gets good weather, they press on through long…
First mooring deployment completed
The Endurance 16 OOI science party and R/V Sikuliaq crew deploy the Washington shelf mooring. The new mooring will sit side-by-side for a few days…
