WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.980 - [Claire] All right, welcome everyone. 00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:03.120 Thanks for joining us on the webinar today. 00:00:03.320 --> 00:00:04.240 We apologize for some of the 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.460 technical difficulties as we kick this off, 00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:09.160 but I did want to introduce to you 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.880 our whole National Marine Sanctuary system 00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:13.760 since the webinar series is hosted by 00:00:13.970 --> 00:00:16.320 the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.434 and we're really trying to get the 00:00:18.434 --> 00:00:20.920 information and curricular materials and 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:23.520 education outreach programs and products out to you 00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:26.280 so you can bring the ocean into your classroom 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.940 and connect with what we call 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:30.120 our underwater treasures of America. 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.080 So on our next slide you'll see a map 00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:34.920 of this network of underwater parks, 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.980 and this encompasses over 170,000 square miles 00:00:39.980 --> 00:00:41.940 of marine and Great Lakes treasures. 00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:43.820 And so those little blue dots 00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:45.440 that you're looking at actually show us 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:49.620 the system of 13 National Marine Sanctuaries 00:00:49.900 --> 00:00:51.963 and in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 00:00:51.963 --> 00:00:54.581 you're looking at the Papahānaumokuākea 00:00:54.581 --> 00:00:56.520 Marine National Monument 00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:57.960 and in American Samoa we have 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.980 the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument as well. 00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:03.496 And this whole sanctuary system helps 00:01:03.496 --> 00:01:05.240 protect the ocean and Great Lakes 00:01:05.380 --> 00:01:07.560 in the United States. 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.380 So I am Claire Fackler 00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:12.680 and I am a National Education Liaison for 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.780 the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries 00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:18.260 and I'll be facilitating today's webinar 00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:20.700 from Santa Barbara, California. 00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:22.040 And as you've already heard 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.820 another voice on the phone, 00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:24.880 we have Andy Collins. 00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:28.120 He's the Education and Technology Coordinator 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.610 for the Papahānaumokuākea 00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:32.520 Marine National Monument and World Heritage Site. 00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:36.560 He's online with us today from the island of Oʻahu, 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.222 and he'll be helping to answer questions 00:01:39.222 --> 00:01:40.620 from you as attendees 00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:43.000 and he'll also be running our poll questions 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.480 throughout the session. 00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:47.780 So this is actually only our second presentation 00:01:47.784 --> 00:01:50.560 in the Marine Sanctuaries Webinar Series, 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.866 so we greatly appreciate 00:01:51.866 --> 00:01:54.420 any feedback you may have following this presentation, 00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:57.120 because it'll help us improve the experience. 00:01:57.340 --> 00:01:58.581 And clearly as you can see 00:01:58.581 --> 00:02:00.680 with it only being our second presentation, 00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:02.410 that even with a practice run 00:02:02.410 --> 00:02:03.780 and getting on early, 00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:07.000 that sometimes there's still some little technical snafus. 00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:10.340 So, we apologize and thank you for your patience. 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.320 I did want to let you know that during the presentation 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.860 all attendees will be in listen-only mode. 00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:17.440 You're welcome to type in questions 00:02:17.540 --> 00:02:18.520 for the presenter 00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:19.940 into the questions box. 00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:21.960 It's on the bottom of the control panel 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.900 on the right-hand side of your screen. 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.480 This is the same area that you can let us know 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.800 about any technical issues you may be having, 00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:30.000 and it seems like you guys 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.620 have all been working this function, 00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:33.320 letting us know that you weren't seeing any slides 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.180 when I was talking initially. 00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:36.660 So thank you for that. 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.300 And Andy and myself 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:40.040 will be monitoring incoming questions 00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:41.980 and any technical issues you have, 00:02:41.980 --> 00:02:43.960 and we'll respond to them as soon as we can. 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.980 So we are currently recording this session 00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:48.220 and we will share the recording 00:02:48.220 --> 00:02:50.220 with registered participants 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:52.100 via our webinar archive page, 00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:56.120 and a URL for that web page will be provided 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.560 at the end of our presentation. 00:02:59.220 --> 00:03:02.340 So today's presentation is called, 00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:06.560 "Underwater Exploration in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands." 00:03:07.100 --> 00:03:09.160 Andy if you want to hit to the next slide. 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:11.220 Today you are going to discover 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:12.320 how you can actually connect 00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:14.640 to the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:16.160 in real time. 00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:17.820 They'll be on an expedition that will explore 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.240 the deep water habitats 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.180 of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. 00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:24.460 And so this webinar aims to provide an overview 00:03:24.540 --> 00:03:26.900 of the science objectives of the expedition, 00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:30.080 as well as showcase the various exploration tools 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.620 that are available to you as educators 00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:34.620 and for your students to participate 00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:36.480 in this live expedition. 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.520 So today we have Dr. Daniel Wagner. 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.180 Daniel received his PhD in Biological Oceanography 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.160 from the University of Hawaii back in 2011, 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.720 and ever since has been working with NOAA's 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.483 Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument 00:03:51.483 --> 00:03:52.980 and World Heritage Site. 00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:55.480 He coordinates ecological studies 00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:58.240 in support of this marine protected area. 00:03:58.560 --> 00:03:59.840 He's conducted research in Hawaii's 00:03:59.980 --> 00:04:02.160 deep-sea coral reefs for over a decade, 00:04:02.700 --> 00:04:06.480 and has participated in over 20 research expeditions 00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:08.780 that have surveyed these deep water habitats. 00:04:08.820 --> 00:04:11.020 Often they use technical scuba diving 00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:12.320 or manned submersibles 00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:15.120 and sometimes even remotely operated vehicles 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.560 or ROVs. 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.020 Daniel has served as the science co-lead 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.740 during last year's expedition to 00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:23.260 the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.820 aboard the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.160 and he once again will serve in this capacity 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.060 in the upcoming expedition 00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:33.300 to this region later in this month. 00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:38.440 Andy go ahead and switch back to the Daniel slide 00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:41.680 and we'll go ahead and initiate 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.500 the first couple poll questions 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.200 that will let us understand who you are as an audience. 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:55.940 So you'll see here 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.140 a quick poll question that's come up 00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:01.420 and if you can just take a minute to let us know 00:05:01.580 --> 00:05:02.880 if you're in formal education, 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:05.120 informal education or other. 00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:16.000 All right looks like about 80% of you have voted. 00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:19.880 We'll give another 5 or 10 seconds... 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.000 All right last couple of you want to get your vote in here. 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.300 All right I'm closing the poll. 00:05:35.900 --> 00:05:39.660 And so Daniel and Andy, looking at our results here. 00:05:39.900 --> 00:05:42.940 It looks like the majority of the folks on the phone 00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:44.620 participating in today's webinar 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.540 are in informal education, 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.860 with a decent size of formal educators as well. 00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:55.500 Also, we have one more poll for you. 00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:03.760 For those of you that are in formal education 00:06:03.760 --> 00:06:06.000 or I guess even if you're in informal, 00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:09.420 what grade level or levels do you teach? 00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:20.140 Right, about half of you have voted. 00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:23.860 If the rest of you can share your response, 00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:31.640 This will help our speaker Daniel get 00:06:31.780 --> 00:06:34.540 a better sense of who is on today's webinar. 00:06:38.380 --> 00:06:41.080 All right, five more seconds and I'll close the poll. 00:06:46.140 --> 00:06:48.900 All right, closing poll and sharing the results. 00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:53.860 All right, majority in... 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:56.440 high school 00:06:57.340 --> 00:07:02.420 with a good amount from other grade levels as well. 00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:04.340 Excellent! 00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:06.940 Well with that, we'll go ahead and... 00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:09.520 change to presenter so Daniel, 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.880 you'll be able to show your screen. 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.240 I'd like to introduce Daniel 00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:18.940 and give him a chance to give us his presentation. 00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:21.800 - [Daniel] All right, thank you so much Claire, 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.560 and thank you to everyone for joining us on this webinar. 00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:27.400 As Claire mentioned, my name is Daniel Wagner 00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:28.280 and I work for 00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:30.580 the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument 00:07:30.580 --> 00:07:31.740 and World Heritage Site. 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.300 I am a marine biologist by training 00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:37.540 and my background is on studying deep water corals. 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.100 So really the deep sea. 00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:42.562 And today I'm going to share with you 00:07:42.562 --> 00:07:43.920 an upcoming project. 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.340 We're actually going to be leaving in just under a week 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.960 to explore really deep water habitats 00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:53.480 in a very remote location of our planet. 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.380 So really looking at the deepest 00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:58.000 and the farthest you can get from civilization. 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.520 And I just wanted to share some ways in which 00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:03.700 you all can get in touch with us, 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.320 and follow the expedition in real-time. 00:08:06.700 --> 00:08:09.600 So just to give you a little bit of background, 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.200 the office, 00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:14.480 NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, 00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:16.360 over the last three years 00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:19.920 has initiated a campaign to study the deep waters 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.260 throughout the Pacific Ocean. 00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:24.800 So most people don't realize that 00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:26.620 throughout the entire Pacific 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.340 there's many territories 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.760 and islands that belong to the United States, 00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:33.420 and a lot of these are protected areas. 00:08:33.420 --> 00:08:35.240 And for the next three years 00:08:36.300 --> 00:08:39.500 NOAAʻs office of Ocean Exploration and Research 00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:41.500 is going to a lot of these places 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:45.100 to look at the deep waters in these places. 00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:48.560 So last year we had an expedition to 00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:51.820 Papahānaumokuākea and Johnston Atoll. 00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:54.660 This year, again we will be going back 00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:56.660 to Papahānaumokuākea 00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:59.220 then going to several places in the remote 00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.520 US Pacific islands and Marianas Trench 00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:03.760 and then next year there's going to be 00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:06.100 expeditions to American Samoa 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.420 as well as other places in the US Pacific. 00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:12.440 Now the expedition I'm going to be talking about 00:09:12.580 --> 00:09:14.880 is just leaving in under a week 00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:17.760 so next week Tuesday, we're going to be sailing 00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:20.060 from Honolulu here in Hawaii 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.160 then going up to Papahānaumokuākea. 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.980 This National Marine Sanctuary system site 00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:28.780 is one of the largest in the world. 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.320 And then we're going to be going down 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.260 to Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, 00:09:33.660 --> 00:09:36.360 where the expedition is is going to end. 00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:39.960 So it's a fairly ambitious project. 00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:41.920 In just under three weeks, 00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:45.640 we're going to be sailing over 3100 miles. 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.660 That's the geographical distance 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.920 thatʻs actually as far as driving 00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:53.840 from Los Angeles to Boston. 00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:57.860 And this is just over three weeks. 00:09:58.660 --> 00:10:01.660 Now, we're going to be spending 00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:04.080 the largest portion of this expedition in 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.060 the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument 00:10:06.140 --> 00:10:07.980 and World Heritage Site. 00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:11.820 This is a very significant place to all of us. 00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:15.160 Hopefully you've heard it at some point. 00:10:15.160 --> 00:10:17.460 I do want to highlight that 00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.080 this is a world heritage site, 00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:21.380 and in fact is one of the few world heritage sites 00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:23.380 we have in the United States. 00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:27.360 What this means is that a group of experts 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.560 has deemed that this is one of 00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:30.520 the most special places on Earth 00:10:30.520 --> 00:10:33.060 that should be protected in perpetuity. 00:10:33.260 --> 00:10:34.868 In fact, Papahānaumokuākea 00:10:34.868 --> 00:10:36.200 is the only place in the United States 00:10:36.380 --> 00:10:38.980 that has World Heritage status 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.680 for both its natural and cultural resources. 00:10:41.780 --> 00:10:44.180 So this is really a place that is 00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:46.816 equivalent in significance to something like 00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:47.960 the Great China Wall 00:10:49.280 --> 00:10:51.440 or the pyramids in Egypt. 00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:54.140 So really a very very special place. 00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:58.920 Now the vast majority of this monument is deep water. 00:11:00.140 --> 00:11:03.720 In fact over 98% of the area of this monument 00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:06.620 is at depth below 300 feet. 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:09.520 So places where it's really difficult to get there 00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:12.420 but just over the last few years, 00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:16.260 we have been going to look at these deeper depths, 00:11:16.380 --> 00:11:19.240 and find some really remarkable things. 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.740 And this is something that we're going to follow up on 00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:23.580 on this upcoming expedition as well. 00:11:25.900 --> 00:11:27.700 We're going to be leaving on the NOAA Ship 00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:29.220 Okeanos Explorer. 00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:34.300 This is a very sophisticated ship 00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:37.080 and it's very cool in many ways. 00:11:38.060 --> 00:11:40.180 One, it's the only fully dedicated ship 00:11:40.280 --> 00:11:42.220 to exploration in the United States 00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:45.780 and also the only ship in the US fleet 00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:49.460 that has a dedicated submersible for exploration. 00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:52.740 The other very interesting thing is that 00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:55.280 it has linked in real time 00:11:55.400 --> 00:11:57.180 through telepresence technology, 00:11:57.260 --> 00:11:58.960 so everything thatʻs done by this ship 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.440 is shared in real time 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.840 to both scientists and educators. 00:12:04.020 --> 00:12:07.020 So people can follow along on the excitement. 00:12:07.640 --> 00:12:09.160 I'll leave here a couple seconds 00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:10.800 for the next poll question. 00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:12.760 Maybe Andy you can pull those up? 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.860 - [Andy] I think Claire's Claire's got control of that. 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.020 - [Claire] Yep. 00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:22.680 All right, launching the next poll. 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.500 So prior to the webinar of today 00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.420 have you heard about the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, 00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:29.980 it's live expedition feeds 00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:32.480 and the educational materials? 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.280 We have over 70% that have voted 00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:42.280 so we'll give a few more seconds 00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:44.640 to try to catch the rest of you. 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.640 Alright looks like we've got the majority of everyone. 00:12:53.640 --> 00:12:55.840 Go ahead and share the results. 00:12:56.020 --> 00:12:59.840 Ok great. So a good part of you have heard about 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.260 the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer and its resources, 00:13:03.260 --> 00:13:05.880 but we are capturing some people that are new to this. 00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:07.660 So we do have one more question for you 00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:08.940 for our poll here: 00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:14.940 Prior to this webinar, have you used 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.260 the educational resources related to 00:13:17.260 --> 00:13:20.220 the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer? 00:13:28.420 --> 00:13:29.860 All right about five more seconds 00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:31.860 to catch the last couple of you. 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.060 All right, closing the poll. 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.420 All right, we hope to make most of you converts 00:13:42.420 --> 00:13:44.360 of incorporating these materials 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.380 into your formal or informal education settings 00:13:47.380 --> 00:13:49.420 following Daniel's presentation. 00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:51.880 So thanks for that, and Daniel continue on. 00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:54.140 - [Daniel] Thank you very much Claire. 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.940 So yeah, the purpose of today's presentation 00:13:57.060 --> 00:13:58.300 is really to one, 00:13:58.300 --> 00:14:00.660 give you a little bit of a background, 00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:03.340 in terms of what our mission on this expedition 00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:04.420 is going to be, 00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:05.660 and two, 00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:08.860 just provide you with an introduction 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.920 to all the resources that are available to educators 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.440 to follow this expedition in real-time 00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:16.260 and to bring some of the materials 00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:18.840 from this expedition into your classroom. 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.798 So I talked about telepresence technology. 00:14:23.800 --> 00:14:28.800 This is a very sophisticated technology, 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.820 The NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer has 00:14:32.060 --> 00:14:35.920 a very high bandwidth internet connection. 00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:39.940 So everything that is done by the ship, 00:14:40.420 --> 00:14:42.760 primarily is deep water exploration 00:14:42.900 --> 00:14:44.680 with remotely operated vehicles, 00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:47.180 is broadcast over the internet 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.000 so then scientists that are on shore 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.920 or educators that are on shore 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.260 can follow the expedition in real-time. 00:14:54.660 --> 00:14:56.760 In fact we only have a couple of scientists 00:14:56.760 --> 00:14:58.860 on board on these expeditions. 00:14:59.020 --> 00:15:00.060 And the vast majority 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.860 of the participation from scientists comes from 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.680 what we call these exploration command centers. 00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:10.420 These are basically rooms where the scientists go to 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:12.760 and they are connected to the ship 00:15:12.760 --> 00:15:15.060 and they can actually talk to the pilots 00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:18.900 that are driving these remotely operated vehicles 00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:20.120 and the engineers 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.040 and request, for example, a close up of something 00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:25.260 or to collect a sample. 00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:28.080 So it's a very nice tool to involve a large, 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.340 a much bigger portion of the scientific community 00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:32.580 on these expeditions. 00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:34.420 The other advantage of this 00:15:34.520 --> 00:15:37.280 is that it's not just available to scientists 00:15:37.280 --> 00:15:39.480 but educators, students, 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.840 anyone basically with an internet connection 00:15:42.020 --> 00:15:44.320 can follow the expedition in real-time 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.460 and look at what scientists are doing on the ship. 00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:50.240 And this is really a very nice tool 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.400 for you to all share these discoveries with your students 00:15:54.460 --> 00:15:56.060 as well as participate as well. 00:15:57.760 --> 00:15:59.440 So in terms of the science, 00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:01.280 Two things we're going to be doing is, 00:16:01.540 --> 00:16:03.220 well we're going to be going to places 00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:08.080 that in large part haven't been surveyed before. 00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:10.100 It's a big portion of this area 00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:11.500 hasn't been mapped actually, 00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:14.120 so we don't have any idea 00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:16.120 of what exactly is underneath it. 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:21.120 So the ship actually around the clock is mapping, 00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:24.260 and so anytime the remotely operated vehicle 00:16:24.380 --> 00:16:25.511 is not in the water, 00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:28.160 the ship is mapping the seafloor 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.220 and just, it's a pretty simple system, 00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:34.820 but it's basically the ship sends an acoustic signal, 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.280 a sound that bounces off the seafloor 00:16:37.540 --> 00:16:39.220 and depending on the time it takes back 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:41.280 for that signal to come back, 00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:43.840 you can figure out how deep it is underneath you. 00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:46.620 And if you do that in real time as a ship goes through, 00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:49.760 it gives you kind of a map of what is underneath you. 00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:53.060 So we are creating maps for a lot of these areas. 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.100 And then once we find interesting targets 00:16:57.260 --> 00:17:00.960 we do deploy this remotely operated vehicle. 00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:03.640 The Okeanos Explorer has two, 00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:08.060 and these are really spectacular engineering feats. 00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:11.520 This remotely-operated right here, 00:17:12.040 --> 00:17:13.260 the Deep Discoverer, 00:17:13.260 --> 00:17:17.260 has capabilities of diving down to 6,000 meters, 00:17:17.340 --> 00:17:19.700 so almost four miles deep. 00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:21.660 It's equipped with about nine 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.600 high-definition video cameras, 00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:26.500 about 20 LED lights, 00:17:26.780 --> 00:17:30.140 and really, the video and photos that this thing has 00:17:30.340 --> 00:17:32.280 are just absolutely spectacular. 00:17:34.060 --> 00:17:37.260 So again, the expedition is leaving next Tuesday 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:38.716 and we're going to be doing 00:17:38.716 --> 00:17:40.226 remotely operated vehicle dives 00:17:40.226 --> 00:17:43.520 pretty much every day of the expedition 00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:47.500 through March 18th. 00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:50.760 These are just a few the sites 00:17:50.760 --> 00:17:52.920 that we've we've selected so far. 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.980 In some areas 00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:58.700 we've only selected a few possible targets 00:17:58.860 --> 00:18:00.120 because we still are going to be 00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:01.820 doing some mapping in the vicinity 00:18:01.940 --> 00:18:04.060 to narrow down on the exact target. 00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:05.920 But just a message I want to say is that 00:18:06.060 --> 00:18:08.420 we're going to be covering an enormous area, 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.080 now over three thousand miles 00:18:13.060 --> 00:18:17.360 So why are we focusing on Hawaii 00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:20.560 and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in particular? 00:18:21.020 --> 00:18:24.060 Hawai'i is the most isolated island chain in the world, 00:18:24.060 --> 00:18:28.720 and it's known for having very unique species. 00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:33.280 In Hawai'i the vast majority of the species 00:18:33.280 --> 00:18:34.740 are only found here in Hawa'i 00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:36.700 and nowhere else on the planet. 00:18:36.780 --> 00:18:38.540 And this is particularly true 00:18:38.540 --> 00:18:40.140 for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.080 There's also a lot of fascinating geological features, 00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:48.060 and then it's also located in an area 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.420 that is going to become interesting 00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:53.340 for the deep-sea mining industry. 00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:55.880 So one thing that we are hoping to do 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.700 with these projects 00:18:56.840 --> 00:18:58.840 is to learn a little bit more 00:18:59.020 --> 00:19:00.900 about these deep water communities; 00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:04.220 see where the most vulnerable communities are, 00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:06.400 the most spectacular ones are, 00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:10.400 so that hopefully we can steer away the mining industry 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.038 in the future from from these most vulnerable 00:19:13.038 --> 00:19:14.680 and most precious resources. 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.980 And another idea why we're going to Hawai'i 00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:22.720 is that we already have some baseline information. 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.620 In fact, just last year we spent a couple weeks diving 00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:28.500 in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, 00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:30.245 and these are just a few photos 00:19:30.245 --> 00:19:34.000 of some very noteworthy species that were recorded. 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.980 This sponge right here we recorded 00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:39.020 at a depth about 2000 meters. 00:19:39.620 --> 00:19:43.960 And that image is the largest sponge known on earth. 00:19:44.100 --> 00:19:45.860 It was the size of about a minivan. 00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:47.960 And really showing 00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:50.100 that some of these deep water locations 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.080 have really remarkable, spectacular species. 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.620 Same, this coral down here 00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:00.300 is a gorgonian coral. 00:20:00.300 --> 00:20:03.380 That's also the largest known gorgonian coral 00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:04.380 known on earth. 00:20:04.800 --> 00:20:08.180 Some of these colonies are over 20 feet in length. 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.180 So really spectacular species. 00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:15.540 Not just beautiful, but really large. 00:20:15.540 --> 00:20:18.320 And by being so large they provide habitat for 00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:20.240 a lot of other species. 00:20:21.560 --> 00:20:24.680 So a lot of what we're going to be doing is looking for 00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:29.920 large-scale, high-density coral and sponge communities. 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.140 In some places we've identified real coral gardens 00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:37.140 extending for miles in length, 00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:40.680 where you really have one coral after another. 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.100 We're really trying to collect some baseline information 00:20:44.100 --> 00:20:46.200 as where do these coral gardens form? 00:20:46.204 --> 00:20:47.870 How large are they? 00:20:47.870 --> 00:20:50.675 What species do they consist of? 00:20:50.675 --> 00:20:53.634 It's really to try and understand 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:58.600 where these particularly vulnerable communities lie. 00:20:59.300 --> 00:21:00.820 These are just some photos 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.740 of some of these coral gardens that I mentioned 00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:04.340 that we found last year. 00:21:04.820 --> 00:21:07.460 Those are densities that are comparable 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.440 to what you see in shallow water coral reefs. 00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:13.000 Now these are over a mile deep. 00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:15.860 I just wanted to highlight for most of you 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.540 that might have not heard about deep sea ecosystems, 00:21:18.800 --> 00:21:22.560 is that you have a lot of life even at great depths. 00:21:23.520 --> 00:21:26.600 A lot of what we're doing is where I mentioned 00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:29.114 the mapping component of this cruise. 00:21:29.114 --> 00:21:32.180 We do a lot of mapping and look at mapping data 00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:34.560 to try to pick the sites that we dive on, 00:21:34.840 --> 00:21:37.060 because a lot of these places where we have 00:21:37.060 --> 00:21:39.020 these dense communities, 00:21:39.020 --> 00:21:41.980 are places where you have steep topography. 00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:47.380 And this is because you know these corals and sponges 00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:51.240 basically require dependable and strong currents. 00:21:51.560 --> 00:21:53.280 They feed on tiny particles 00:21:53.280 --> 00:21:55.460 that are dissolved in the water column. 00:21:55.462 --> 00:21:57.860 And so you find these in places 00:21:57.860 --> 00:21:59.860 where you have strong currents. 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.540 Now one area where you have strong currents 00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:04.460 is where you have steep ridges, 00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:06.740 because currents kind of get accelerated 00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:08.120 as they flow over it. 00:22:08.260 --> 00:22:10.020 And so in a lot of these places 00:22:10.020 --> 00:22:11.340 where you have these steep ridges, 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.080 you have the bridge crest. 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.260 And flanks of them really lined 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:18.840 by these high density communities. 00:22:19.780 --> 00:22:22.460 I just want to talk a little bit about, 00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:26.440 the area the dives are going to be done. 00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:27.940 This is the Hawaiian archipelago 00:22:28.040 --> 00:22:29.500 including in Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 00:22:30.560 --> 00:22:33.560 which is now protected in perpetuity. 00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:35.900 Throughout the US Pacific, 00:22:36.020 --> 00:22:38.320 we also have other protected areas, 00:22:38.560 --> 00:22:41.980 but a large portion of this area is actually not protected. 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:43.600 And there is interest, 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.240 to mine the area for deep-sea mining. 00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:50.780 In fact some sites have already been identified, 00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:53.500 and what we're hoping to achieve with this project 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:54.740 is try to understand 00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:57.380 where are the densest communities of deep-sea corals 00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:59.460 and sponges and other deep-sea organisms, 00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:02.270 so that hopefully we can generate some data 00:23:02.270 --> 00:23:04.865 that can steer the mining industry away 00:23:04.865 --> 00:23:07.440 from these these coral gardens where 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.640 we have the highest densities of species. 00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:15.100 Another interesting thing of this project 00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:17.840 is we are going to be doing two dives 00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:19.420 during the expeditions, 00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:22.580 looking for archaeological sites 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:24.160 from the Battle of Midway. 00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:28.960 The Battle of Midway occurred just six months 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.980 after the Pearl Harbor attacks 00:23:31.260 --> 00:23:34.260 here in Oʻahu and Honolulu. 00:23:34.260 --> 00:23:38.180 There's a major battle that occurred north of Midway 00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:41.580 that is considered one of the most important 00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:44.740 naval battles in World World II history. 00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:48.460 Several Japanese aircraft carriers 00:23:48.520 --> 00:23:50.600 were sunk during this battle, 00:23:50.780 --> 00:23:53.660 and we're going to be doing some mapping 00:23:53.660 --> 00:23:58.000 as well as potential dives on a few of these sites. 00:23:58.260 --> 00:24:01.860 So it's going to be really interesting to follow on. 00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:05.860 What I thought I'd do with the remainder 00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:07.420 of the presentation is just 00:24:07.420 --> 00:24:10.460 take you to some of the online resources 00:24:10.580 --> 00:24:12.320 that are available to all of you 00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:15.580 to follow the expedition in real time, 00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:18.360 as well as some curriculum and other materials 00:24:18.520 --> 00:24:20.120 which might be appealing to you 00:24:20.340 --> 00:24:21.900 to share with your students. 00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:24.800 I'm going to just change over here, 00:24:24.800 --> 00:24:26.780 and Claire and Andy, 00:24:26.780 --> 00:24:28.780 can you see the website? 00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:31.300 - [Claire] Right now we see Google, yep. 00:24:31.820 --> 00:24:33.300 - [Andy] Google, yep. 00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:35.660 - [Dan] All right thank you so much. 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.280 I just Google "Okeanos Explorer," 00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:44.500 and this will take you to the website 00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:46.760 of the Okeanos Explorer. 00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:51.140 Right here it scrolls between different missions. 00:24:52.300 --> 00:24:55.240 Now the Okeanos Explorer has done expeditions 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.760 over many years in many places in the world. 00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:00.880 What I'm going to take you to is the website 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:02.500 of our particular expedition. 00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:05.420 And so you go to this expedition tab here on the top 00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:09.220 and the very first expedition for 2016 00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:11.820 is the expedition I'm talking about 00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:15.300 which is leaving on February 23rd next week Tuesday, 00:25:16.180 --> 00:25:19.420 and diving through March 18th. 00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.420 This is the homepage. 00:25:23.800 --> 00:25:25.740 A couple things of note. 00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:28.760 First, I mentioned live video. 00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:33.540 This tab right here actually takes you to live video 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.140 and even though the expedition is not underway, 00:25:36.520 --> 00:25:39.260 there are cameras on the ship. 00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:41.780 This is now just loading, 00:25:41.780 --> 00:25:43.500 and this is the Okeanos Explorer 00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:45.240 which is just docked here in Pearl Harbor. 00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:48.380 So you can look exactly at what is happening now. 00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:50.340 The engineers are getting ready. 00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:52.420 We're just under a week to sail. 00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:54.800 You have one camera right here 00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:57.940 where we see the engineers working on deck. 00:25:59.020 --> 00:26:00.740 There's another camera here 00:26:01.180 --> 00:26:03.200 that's probably the other side. 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.080 So this is just looking back on the deck. 00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:09.380 And this is one of the two remotely operated vehicles. 00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:13.660 Throughout the expedition you can go to this link here, 00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:14.900 the live feeds, 00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:17.320 and look at exactly what's happening. 00:26:17.320 --> 00:26:19.320 When these ROVs are in the water, 00:26:19.320 --> 00:26:22.280 you will be seeing the view of the ROV. 00:26:22.280 --> 00:26:24.440 When they're not in the water, 00:26:24.620 --> 00:26:26.620 you can check out what's happening on the deck. 00:26:26.800 --> 00:26:28.860 When we're processing samples, in fact, 00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:32.240 they'll have cameras following the scientists in the lab. 00:26:32.900 --> 00:26:35.480 So you can tune it anytime you want 00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:37.600 and look at what's happening on the ship. 00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:40.480 That's a cool feature there. 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.800 So again, here in this live video tab. 00:26:44.020 --> 00:26:47.660 Now a few other resources as I scroll back... 00:26:48.780 --> 00:26:51.120 We have several background essays which 00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:53.600 basically summarize a lot of the information 00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:55.560 which I just talked to you about 00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:57.500 in the earlier part of the presentation. 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.400 We have an essay just on the mission plan, 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:01.791 what are we going to be doing, 00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:03.980 a background on the monument, 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:06.240 on the Japanese aircraft carriers 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.760 they're going to be surveying, 00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:09.840 as well as a few others, 00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:10.920 that will give you a little bit more 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.680 background information about why we're going there, 00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:16.220 and what the overall science goals are. 00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:20.560 Daily updates and mission logs... 00:27:20.560 --> 00:27:22.320 these two are now blank, 00:27:22.320 --> 00:27:24.400 but these are basically on a daily basis, 00:27:24.580 --> 00:27:26.240 here they will be updated with 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.840 some cool pictures and videos 00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:29.481 giving you every day an update 00:27:29.481 --> 00:27:31.820 of what's going on on the expedition. 00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:34.880 The mission logs are a little bit more in-depth 00:27:35.360 --> 00:27:38.400 and will be updated every three or four days or so. 00:27:39.040 --> 00:27:41.960 Now the real cool features here 00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:44.240 are in this education tab right here. 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.360 There are many resources here that 00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:51.420 hopefully you can use to share with your students. 00:27:51.820 --> 00:27:55.400 So as we scroll down right here, 00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:58.980 they actually have a couple of videos... 00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:02.180 these were put together by the dives we did last year. 00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:06.340 Very cool, showing some of the most beautiful images. 00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.100 And then we have a few lesson plans, 00:28:09.100 --> 00:28:12.200 and these are organized based on subject themes. 00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:14.720 For our expedition, 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.940 they're going to be focusing a lot 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.380 on deep-sea corals and sea mounts. 00:28:19.800 --> 00:28:22.580 While we will not be going to vents and volcanoes, 00:28:22.780 --> 00:28:25.180 there are some materials here 00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:26.800 that might be of interest to you. 00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:30.920 Throughout this themed subject here 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.560 you have deep-sea coral, 00:28:32.560 --> 00:28:33.792 there are some essays 00:28:33.800 --> 00:28:36.860 which you might be interested in reading, 00:28:38.020 --> 00:28:39.920 some [garbled] lessons, 00:28:40.300 --> 00:28:42.720 and this is really very cool... 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.360 There are several lessons plans through here, 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.020 little activities that you can do with your students, 00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:51.440 and you can download the PDF 00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:54.100 that gives you a detailed description of the activity 00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:57.420 and exactly what you can do. 00:28:57.420 --> 00:28:59.060 Step-by-step instructions. 00:28:59.560 --> 00:29:01.340 So these are really nice ways 00:29:01.340 --> 00:29:05.760 that you can share these materials with your students. 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.880 Now another thing that might be of interest to you, 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:13.180 there are a few tabs here, 00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:15.020 some of these are cross-linked 00:29:15.020 --> 00:29:16.736 to the same thing we saw before, 00:29:16.736 --> 00:29:17.540 the live video, 00:29:17.840 --> 00:29:20.340 the background essays... 00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:21.740 Meet the Explorers. 00:29:22.760 --> 00:29:24.244 This is basically a summary of 00:29:24.244 --> 00:29:26.020 everyone that's working on the ship. 00:29:27.060 --> 00:29:28.960 I've given many presentations at schools, 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:30.960 and I find that students 00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:34.160 are really interested a lot of times in this 00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:35.960 and in the people that do the work, 00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:38.260 and what kind of career paths they took, 00:29:38.340 --> 00:29:39.460 and getting there. 00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:41.800 So this gives you a little bit of background information 00:29:41.900 --> 00:29:42.900 of the different people 00:29:42.900 --> 00:29:44.740 that are involved in the expedition. 00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:47.600 When you see the live video feeds 00:29:47.600 --> 00:29:49.400 you might be hearing these voices, 00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:53.320 and it just shows that we have people 00:29:53.320 --> 00:29:55.000 from very different backgrounds. 00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.240 We have engineers. 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.220 We have videographers, photographers, scientists, 00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:01.700 people from different backgrounds 00:30:01.700 --> 00:30:04.960 and different interests working all together. 00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:10.680 Another thing that I want to point out is this Reddit here. 00:30:13.360 --> 00:30:15.660 For those of you who are not familiar, 00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:17.711 Reddit is their website 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:21.200 and the Okeanos Explorer, on every expedition, 00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:23.760 has been doing these Reddit sessions 00:30:23.760 --> 00:30:28.100 where people can ask questions to anyone on the ship. 00:30:28.100 --> 00:30:29.840 And on March 3rd, 00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:31.220 all of us on the ship 00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:33.860 will be answering those questions. 00:30:35.140 --> 00:30:36.780 You can share this with your students, 00:30:36.780 --> 00:30:38.960 and this is the way for all of your students 00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:42.300 to basically ask anything they might be interested 00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:44.580 and we're going to be answering them. 00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:47.760 So on March 3rd they're going to be posting a link here 00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:49.840 that will take you to the Reddit website 00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:51.900 that you could share with your students. 00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:54.160 and this is a way for your students 00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:59.620 to ask anything they might be interested in. 00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:04.620 Alright, another thing that's noteworthy 00:31:04.620 --> 00:31:06.880 is this live video mobile app. 00:31:07.280 --> 00:31:10.320 I mentioned that you can watch the live video. 00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:11.240 through this tab, 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.811 which requires you of course 00:31:12.820 --> 00:31:14.550 to have a computer and internet. 00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:16.800 But the Okeanos Explorer actually 00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:19.040 also has a live video mobile app 00:31:19.080 --> 00:31:20.180 that you can download, 00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:23.260 and that way you and your students 00:31:23.260 --> 00:31:27.100 can actually watch the live video feed 00:31:27.580 --> 00:31:29.560 from your smartphones as well. 00:31:31.020 --> 00:31:33.060 There's a couple more tabs right here. 00:31:33.580 --> 00:31:35.420 Capstone overview, 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:37.060 I mentioned that this is part of a 00:31:37.260 --> 00:31:39.520 larger research initiative 00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:42.240 that includes work throughout the Pacific. 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:44.520 A bit

00:35:03.940 --> 00:35:05.480 - [Andy] Okay yeah, the question is, 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:10.000 Will dates with telepresence be posted on the website? 00:35:11.100 --> 00:35:13.220 - [Daniel] So yeah, telepresence happens 00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:14.800 throughout the cruise. 00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:16.760 So I mentioned the cruise dates are 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.920 February 23rd to March 18th. 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.740 We are going to be diving almost every day. 00:35:22.740 --> 00:35:24.780 There's actually just two exceptions 00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:27.200 from the day after we leave. 00:35:27.220 --> 00:35:31.740 So from March 24th from next Wednesday on, 00:35:32.060 --> 00:35:33.260 every day. 00:35:34.020 --> 00:35:37.980 But one thing what you can follow on here 00:35:38.220 --> 00:35:44.240 if you go to the daily updates and mission logs, 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.240 that will give you an update 00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:49.220 of what's happening that day. 00:35:49.420 --> 00:35:51.900 And so you can, once we're underway 00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:53.560 it will give you a little bit of a synopsis 00:35:53.560 --> 00:35:55.060 of what's happening that day. 00:35:55.160 --> 00:35:58.080 And so you can read ahead and figure out 00:35:58.080 --> 00:36:00.460 what days you might be most interested in 00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:01.620 and tuning in. 00:36:01.620 --> 00:36:05.920 So yeah, that's where you can figure out in advance. 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.080 But it's safe to say that between 00:36:08.080 --> 00:36:11.400 February 24th and March 17th 00:36:11.560 --> 00:36:13.600 there will be live video every day, 00:36:14.080 --> 00:36:16.100 which for the most part of the day 00:36:16.220 --> 00:36:18.860 will include the ROV in the water. 00:36:20.060 --> 00:36:20.760 - [Andy] Yeah thanks Daniel. 00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:23.840 And just one additional clarifying point to that, 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:26.386 the interactive component of that 00:36:26.386 --> 00:36:29.340 is more between the scientists on shore 00:36:29.340 --> 00:36:31.200 and the scientists on the vessel. 00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:33.100 They have a little bit of back and forth, 00:36:33.100 --> 00:36:35.340 but there's no like back and forth 00:36:35.340 --> 00:36:38.320 between the vessel and the public, 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.060 aside from the Reddit poll, 00:36:41.060 --> 00:36:42.820 because they're pretty much consumed 00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:46.000 with daily operations of controlling the ROV 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:48.020 and where it goes and trying to describe 00:36:48.020 --> 00:36:50.240 what they're seeing over the video. 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:53.240 So I hope that answers your question Megan. 00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:56.880 And we have another one from John here, 00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:58.980 Are there any manned submersibles 00:36:58.980 --> 00:37:01.020 participating in the expedition? 00:37:03.420 --> 00:37:05.680 - [Daniel] So yeah, these cruises, 00:37:05.680 --> 00:37:09.260 these are all remotely operated vehicles. 00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:14.060 So no one is going to be sitting in the submersible itself. 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.884 The Okeanos Explorer only works 00:37:16.884 --> 00:37:19.204 with remotely operated vehicles, 00:37:19.204 --> 00:37:23.023 but technology nowadays is actually so advanced 00:37:23.023 --> 00:37:25.380 that you almost have the same 00:37:25.380 --> 00:37:29.060 capabilities with these remotely operated vehicles 00:37:29.060 --> 00:37:33.060 that you have with manned submersibles. 00:37:33.060 --> 00:37:34.660 The the pilots are actually so good 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:35.820 at driving these things, 00:37:35.820 --> 00:37:39.000 even though they're driving them from very far away. 00:37:39.740 --> 00:37:43.000 One complication about remotely operated vehicles 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.520 is that now they are tethered to the ship, 00:37:45.860 --> 00:37:48.840 so there is a line that goes from the ship 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.300 down to where their ROV is, 00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:54.800 and in fact here in this picture you can see this line. 00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:59.460 So it actually becomes a sophisticated dance 00:37:59.580 --> 00:38:01.040 when you're doing this transect 00:38:01.040 --> 00:38:02.780 because the ship above is moving. 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:04.960 There's actually a second ROV 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.300 that's tethered to this ROV, 00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:11.500 and that is then tethered to this bottom one. 00:38:11.540 --> 00:38:13.700 That way this middle ROV 00:38:13.700 --> 00:38:18.460 basically takes away... if there is waves and stuff 00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:21.000 it just moves with the ship above here, 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.660 and this bottom ROV can then 00:38:23.720 --> 00:38:28.040 kind of uninhibitly swim underneath it 00:38:28.200 --> 00:38:29.800 and do the survey. 00:38:29.860 --> 00:38:34.620 But it takes a little bit more time to set up these surveys. 00:38:36.140 --> 00:38:38.380 The pilots are unbelievable. 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:42.160 I am always amazed at how good they are, 00:38:42.340 --> 00:38:45.040 what you're able to collect samples... 00:38:45.040 --> 00:38:46.680 Last year we were able to... 00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:48.480 you know you tell them you want something 00:38:48.540 --> 00:38:50.700 that's just a couple inches in size, 00:38:50.700 --> 00:38:52.540 and they will pick it up for you. 00:38:52.720 --> 00:38:55.420 It's unbelievable that they do this in some cases 00:38:55.540 --> 00:38:57.340 when they're sitting, you know, 00:38:57.342 --> 00:38:59.411 several miles away from the vehicle 00:38:59.411 --> 00:39:01.020 that's doing the operation. 00:39:01.020 --> 00:39:04.020 That's an unbelievable engineering feat. 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:08.100 - [Andy] Great! And we have one question here, 00:39:08.180 --> 00:39:11.860 wondering which screen resolution 00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:15.260 comes out to the public over the internet? 00:39:15.260 --> 00:39:19.360 Is it...I know the videos are 720p high-definition, 00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:22.540 I'm pretty sure, but with a stream, 00:39:22.540 --> 00:39:24.840 is that also high-definition? 00:39:26.460 --> 00:39:28.380 - [Daniel] yeah so that's a good question. 00:39:29.700 --> 00:39:31.420 We can take you to the... 00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:34.900 so it's a little bit lower resolution 00:39:35.420 --> 00:39:37.900 and you can see it right here. 00:39:37.900 --> 00:39:41.820 I don't know the technical, what the bandwidth is, 00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:44.660 what the exact... actually it's down here... 00:39:44.660 --> 00:39:48.240 so 720p HD. 00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:54.280 That's the highest resolution you can get down there. 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.580 Now there are on a daily basis, 00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.800 there will be highlight videos, 00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:06.000 and Andy, I just saw that you have made 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.640 a note on this in the chat. 00:40:07.640 --> 00:40:13.260 So they will, every other day or so in the daily updates 00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.000 they will put together kind of a highlight 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.680 of the video that day, 00:40:16.680 --> 00:40:19.260 and those will be in very high definition. 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.080 - [Andy] I think those might be 1080p even. 00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:27.300 They're really amazing quality. 00:40:28.420 --> 00:40:30.880 I have another question here from John, 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:32.860 this is a great question, thanks John, 00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:35.840 Does the Okeanos have dynamic positioning? 00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:39.820 - [Daniel] Yes it does. 00:40:41.100 --> 00:40:46.300 We had a couple of problems on our shakedown dives, 00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.780 but engineers are working on it right now. 00:40:49.780 --> 00:40:52.140 And yes, so it does have dynamic positioning, 00:40:52.140 --> 00:40:55.400 which is really integral when you're trying to 00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.500 you know, maneuver an ROV. 00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:02.220 You need to know exactly the position of the ship above 00:41:02.540 --> 00:41:05.360 to be able to do that, so yeah excellent question. 00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:07.700 - [Andy] Yeah, and when we did the tour 00:41:07.700 --> 00:41:09.560 of the ship the other day, it was amazing! 00:41:09.560 --> 00:41:12.700 I think something within two meters or six feet, 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:16.700 they're able to position the ship accurately. 00:41:16.700 --> 00:41:18.700 Is that right Daniel? Did I hear that right? 00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.880 - [Daniel] I want to say it's even more than that. 00:41:24.180 --> 00:41:27.420 Actually, the pilots always have little contests 00:41:27.420 --> 00:41:31.380 when they figure out the landing site of the ROV 00:41:31.980 --> 00:41:34.240 they want to get it within one meter 00:41:34.240 --> 00:41:36.820 of the exact position that they had plotted. 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:41.820 Anything above that is considered too much. 00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:43.540 So yeah, itʻs unbelievable. 00:41:46.680 --> 00:41:49.360 - [Andy] Great. Any further questions? 00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:51.480 I think we've run through the ones I had... 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.800 oh wait, we have one about, 00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:55.660 - [Claire] One from Alice 00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:57.120 - [Andy] Alice, yeah. 00:41:57.120 --> 00:41:59.000 In order to see the coral communities, 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:00.400 is everything a mile deep? 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:01.880 Is there anything they can be seen 00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:03.640 close to the surface by snorkeling? 00:42:06.620 --> 00:42:08.580 - [Daniel] So yeah, absolutely. 00:42:08.580 --> 00:42:11.920 There are coral reefs that are found at shallower depths. 00:42:13.040 --> 00:42:14.640 The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 00:42:14.640 --> 00:42:16.500 in the Papahānaumokuākea National Monument 00:42:16.560 --> 00:42:20.820 actually has the most spectacular shallow water reefs, 00:42:20.940 --> 00:42:22.920 and Hawaiʻi in general. 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.364 Now with this expedition in particular, 00:42:25.364 --> 00:42:28.309 we're only going to be targeting extreme depths. 00:42:28.309 --> 00:42:32.440 We're going to be diving probably every dive 00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:34.580 deeper than about 500 meters 00:42:34.580 --> 00:42:38.460 and going to depth, the deepest 5,000 meters. 00:42:39.460 --> 00:42:42.920 So because we have these highly advanced vehicles 00:42:43.080 --> 00:42:45.240 that are really designed to go deep, 00:42:45.240 --> 00:42:47.500 we are trying to take them to the limit 00:42:47.600 --> 00:42:51.120 and looking at places that we haven't looked before. 00:42:52.720 --> 00:42:54.170 - [Andy] Great. One question, 00:42:54.170 --> 00:42:55.520 another one from John here. 00:42:55.660 --> 00:42:59.160 Are their submersible pilots NOAA Corps officers? 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:02.800 - [Daniel] That's a good question. 00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:09.400 I don't think so currently, but as I mentioned, 00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.760 there is this tab right here 00:43:12.100 --> 00:43:13.620 "Meet the Explorers" 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:18.240 and it does tell you a little bit about who the people are. 00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:20.040 So yeah, we have several engineers 00:43:20.040 --> 00:43:23.300 and there's a little bit of background, 00:43:23.300 --> 00:43:25.700 and throughout the expedition in fact 00:43:25.700 --> 00:43:27.340 in these mission logs, 00:43:27.340 --> 00:43:31.920 we will have little updates. 00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:36.800 Several of the people are going to write little essays 00:43:36.900 --> 00:43:38.340 about their background. 00:43:38.620 --> 00:43:42.900 So yeah, I believe at this time none of the pilots 00:43:43.020 --> 00:43:44.740 are NOAA Corps officers, 00:43:45.080 --> 00:43:48.920 but I don't know if that's always the case. 00:43:49.600 --> 00:43:52.200 - [Andy] But the NOAA Corps officers are the ones 00:43:52.300 --> 00:43:55.880 that are driving the ship and mostly, kind of, 00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.740 commanding the 22 crew or so it takes 00:43:58.740 --> 00:44:02.740 to do operations day-to-day. Is that right? 00:44:03.380 --> 00:44:05.320 - [Daniel] That is correct. So yeah, 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:09.540 the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer actually has 46 berths, 00:44:10.220 --> 00:44:14.560 two of these are scientists, thatʻs myself and John, 00:44:14.560 --> 00:44:16.820 and three are going to be sailing on this. 00:44:17.100 --> 00:44:21.900 The majority of the rest are NOAA Corps officers 00:44:22.420 --> 00:44:25.940 and then a small team of ROV pilots, 00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:28.560 and engineers and videographers. 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:30.950 - [Andy} okay great. 00:44:30.950 --> 00:44:33.140 And we have one other question here, 00:44:33.140 --> 00:44:35.160 What's the difference between a National Monument 00:44:35.160 --> 00:44:37.060 and a National Marine Sanctuary? 00:44:37.520 --> 00:44:39.060 - [Claire] Great question Sue. 00:44:42.020 --> 00:44:44.460 - [Daniel] That is an excellent question. 00:44:45.160 --> 00:44:48.620 It has to do... and Andy might be able to 00:44:48.620 --> 00:44:52.980 actually give a lot more information 00:44:52.980 --> 00:44:54.760 than then I can provide here. 00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:56.880 It has to do with the way 00:44:57.060 --> 00:45:00.220 these are formed or designated. 00:45:00.660 --> 00:45:04.620 Monuments are created by executive orders, 00:45:04.620 --> 00:45:08.740 so just the president creating a monument. 00:45:08.940 --> 00:45:12.100 It's really a top-down kind of approach 00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:16.500 and it affords them a little bit more protection. 00:45:16.500 --> 00:45:19.400 Sanctuaries are more of a bottom up. 00:45:19.580 --> 00:45:24.280 These are places that our communities have decided 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:28.100 that these are places that need to be protected. 00:45:28.160 --> 00:45:30.620 So they nominate potential sanctuary sites 00:45:30.620 --> 00:45:33.960 that then goes through a revision process, 00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:37.600 and once these are redeemed of protection 00:45:37.600 --> 00:45:40.180 they are then designated as sanctuaries. 00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:44.080 But regardless, both sanctuaries and monuments 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:48.040 are some of our most pristine treasures. 00:45:48.040 --> 00:45:52.660 They contain some of our most pristine resources 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.380 and valuable resources, 00:45:54.380 --> 00:45:57.100 and this is a way for us to protect them. 00:45:58.540 --> 00:45:59.880 - [Andy] Yeah that's a good answer. 00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:01.920 I'll just add one more thing to that. 00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:04.240 In the case of Papahānaumokuākea, 00:46:04.500 --> 00:46:06.640 we did complete a full 00:46:06.820 --> 00:46:11.120 National Marine Sanctuary process 00:46:13.040 --> 00:46:15.680 - with a management plan and public hearings 00:46:15.680 --> 00:46:18.020 and all that, all those other components 00:46:18.020 --> 00:46:19.160 that are important to that. 00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:21.800 But at the time when our proposal 00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:23.480 was put before the president 00:46:23.620 --> 00:46:25.580 who at that time was President Bush, 00:46:25.598 --> 00:46:27.919 he wanted immediate protections in place, 00:46:27.919 --> 00:46:29.937 and so went down the monument path 00:46:29.937 --> 00:46:31.593 as opposed to continuing on 00:46:31.593 --> 00:46:33.964 with our sanctuary designation process 00:46:33.964 --> 00:46:38.160 which was slated to take about another 1.5 to 2 years. 00:46:38.160 --> 00:46:40.740 So we did have a full National Marine Sanctuary 00:46:40.740 --> 00:46:41.954 designation process, 00:46:41.954 --> 00:46:44.514 but at the end we got up to the point 00:46:44.514 --> 00:46:46.720 where the president was going to give us support 00:46:46.720 --> 00:46:49.200 and decided to go down the monument path anyway, 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.060 because that was available to him. So... 00:46:52.060 --> 00:46:53.400 - [Claire] They can do that through the 00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.980 authority of the National Antiquities Act. 00:46:56.160 --> 00:46:58.060 Right. So through the executive order. 00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:02.900 - [Andy] Okay so next question, last question 00:47:02.900 --> 00:47:04.360 We only have time for... 00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:05.000 how much time do we have left? 00:47:05.180 --> 00:47:06.560 - [Claire] Yeah, I think this will be the last question, 00:47:06.560 --> 00:47:07.600 from Jessica. 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:10.060 - [Andy] Okay the last question from Jessica is, 00:47:10.060 --> 00:47:12.900 Where do you post job opportunities? 00:47:15.040 --> 00:47:17.920 - [Daniel] Yeah that's a great question 00:47:20.460 --> 00:47:24.940 NOAA does have a whole careers opportunity website. 00:47:25.420 --> 00:47:28.620 I'm not entirely sure where you can find that, 00:47:28.620 --> 00:47:30.180 but yeah you can NOAA careers, 00:47:30.180 --> 00:47:32.540 if you just google that. 00:47:32.540 --> 00:47:36.840 There are, any jobs that are federal jobs within NOAA 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:40.940 are posted on USAJobs.gov 00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:43.240 So there are a couple websites 00:47:43.240 --> 00:47:46.480 where you could look to find out where 00:47:48.020 --> 00:47:50.480 there might be jobs linked to NOAA. 00:47:54.420 --> 00:47:58.080 -
