It's summer and STEEP trainees are out in the field!!
Kelsey Staniec (pictured) and Jarod Snook, members of the Lohmann Lab at @URIGSO, spent the day in Grills Preserve, Rhode Island. Field work entailed collecting environmental samples to assess #PFAS contamination in the area.

‼️🚧 Last fall, federal & state leaders joined @universityofri for a beam signing ceremony to celebrate progress on Bay Campus renewal.

This week, the beam & its messages were installed on the Ocean Robotics Laboratory building, marking another milestone in construction!

Unusual black smokers at deepest known active hydrothermal vents (Beebe/Piccard, ~5km depth on Mid Cayman Rise) spew extremely Cu-rich fluid. We visited in person on 1st DSV Alvin expedition after major deep diving upgrade. More pics in new article (see below). #Geology #Science

[Kenna Harmony Rubin @kenhrubin]

Recently upgraded Alvin can now dive to 6500m. Read our new article about its capabilities, latest #deepsea science discoveries, & new milestones on its science verification expedition 🌊🛠🧪.

Thx to the entire @WHOI Alvin team &

Remotely operated and autonomous vehicles offer valuable access to the deep ocean, but there is no substitute for direct human observation, write @kenhrubin and @AdamSoule from @URIGSO + Anna P.M. Michel from @WHOI @whoi_CSL. https://t.co/UBsUcoNpMR

Where are PFAS in the environment? Where are they coming from and where do they end up? Check out this article in Aboard @URIGSO to read about the team of researchers at STEEP working to understand the fate and transport of PFAS.

❄️ Snow on the bayou! Unusual weather made its way to Houma, Louisiana, where the RCRV Program team is hard at work constructing #RVNarragansettDawn. This rare snowstorm adds a unique touch to the sights around the shipyard. Stay safe & warm, everyone!

#InternationalDayOfEducation

[URI Graduate School of Oceanography @URIGSO]

8 marine techs from @LUMCONscience, @BIOSstation, @OSUCEOAS & #URIGSO participated in hands-on training (basic computer networking, firewall training, systems data backup, system virtualization) - essential skills as we prepare for the arrival of the new #NSFfunded RCRV fleet!

[URI Graduate School of Oceanography @URIGSO]

#RVEndeavor's December transit from Bermuda➡️ Rhode Island was the perfect opportunity to host a Marine Technician Information Technology-focused training cruise, #EN726!

Thanks to #URIGSO’s Melissa Gonsalves & Rachel Simon for leading this program & Nate Roberts for assisting!
