Voyage to the Mariana Trench
Uploaded on Aug 10, 2011
In this explorations now video, Scripps development engineer Kevin Hardy explains how an instrument he created will collect water from one of the deepest places on Earth. Hardy and others traveled to the MarianaTrench in the western Pacific Ocean to send several instruments to the seafloor during a July 2011 cruise.

ROV Visits the Bottom of the Sea
Published on Oct 25, 2012
From Oct. 13 to Oct. 21, a team of geoscientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Mexican research centers UNAM and CICESE visited the seafloor in search of tectonic history. Their rock collecting off the coast of Baja California took them to benthic seamount communities likely never to have been explored by humans. Take a quick tour of this invisible world with "Gizmo," Scripps' remotely operated vehicle.

Deep SOLO Prototype Test Deployment
Published on Mar 5, 2013
Video footage from CalCOFI shows the Jan. 24, 2013 deployment of a Deep SOLO prototype. The instrument could soon complement floats used in the global Argo network, an array of 3,500 instruments in the world's oceans that afford scientists an unprecedented record of basic conditions in all ocean basins simultaneously. Deep SOLO uses a similar pump to Argo floats, but is housed in a glass sphere rather than in an aluminum cylinder in order to be able to dive to depths as great as 6,000 meters (19,700 feet). It is designed by Jeff Sherman, Russ Davis, and David Black of the Scripps Instrument Development Group. Upper-ocean Argo floats measure seasonal, interannual, and decadal variability, while the deep array will be more focused on decadal signals, said Argo scientist Dean Roemmich.
