Blue Humanities should do more than communicate marine science. What could co-producing knowledge mean for Arabic water narratives and a digital atlas? https://t.co/YmWROIZqBo #OceanHumanities

[Dr. Michael W. Jung @Jungexpress]

Ocean knowledge depends not only on data, but also on the infrastructures and systems that make it accessible, shareable and actionable. A key perspective for #SubOceanicHistory : understanding how we access, know and ultimately control the underwater world.

[UN Ocean Decade @UNOceanDecade]

🌐 This month's Ocean Decade Data Spotlight highlights a new paper exploring how marine spatial data infrastructures and open science can work together to strengthen ocean knowledge systems.

The rescue of the USS Squalus is a remarkable chapter in the history of human access to the deep. From a Sub-Oceanic History perspective, such events reveal how technology, infrastructure, and human ingenuity have shaped our ability to survive and operate beneath the surface

[Historical Dems @Jesamobono]

May 1939, Lieutenant Oliver F. Naquin commanded the submarine USS Squalus (SS-192) during one of the most famous submarine rescue operations in naval history
During a routine test dive off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Squalus suffered a critical mechanical failure.

Yonaguni powerfully illustrates how diving technology still defines the limits of our underwater archaeological understanding. Decades of exploration, yet never the opportunity for a true, complete excavation.

[Francis Mobberley - Megalithic Mysteries @Megalithic12000]

Yonaguni has never undergone a full archaeological excavation.

It has been dived, mapped and studied for decades, but the argument over whether humans modified it is still unresolved.

My new Working Paper explores Knowledge as the second analytical dimension of Sub-Oceanic History. Read the paper here: https://t.co/E8pkifpf7v

[Dr. Michael W. Jung @Jungexpress]

Knowledge transforms underwater access into understanding. Once the ocean could be observed, measured and mapped, the underwater world became knowable. And with each new instrument, its unknown characteristics came to light. #SubOceanicHistory #OceanHistory

Cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina practiced replacing a thermal control panel for the ISS underwater 👨🏻‍🚀

The cosmonauts trained in the hydrolab. They are preparing for work outside the station.

The thermal control panel is stored in a pressurized cylindrical container equipped with handrails. The cosmonauts carry the load in turns, passing the container to one another.

In space, the crew will be assisted by the ERA robotic arm.
