"Where's the deepest point in the Arctic Ocean?" This was a question we had on the Five Deeps Expedition. I dove the Molloy Deep, 5,550m (+/- 14m), but was the 'Gakkel Trench' deeper, under the icepack? Recent IBCAO 5 data shows this 'Gakkel Deep' as 5,421m at its deepest. Close.

I want to recognize the bravery of our Hurricane Hunters aboard the plane "Miss Piggy," which flew through #Milton over the Gulf of Mexico to collect lifesaving data. NOAA will continue to support communities on the frontlines of the hurricane with environmental intelligence.

Meanwhile in the USA, the US Navy version of the RFA is equally in trouble with only 5500 sailors for 4500 at sea billets - they need 10,000 people to make it work... stripes.com/branches/navy/…

#MappingUpdate! These giant #seamounts were only 1,191 meters below #EVNautilus as we mapped them, making them ~4,300 meters tall! That's taller than #MtFuji and nearly as tall as #MtRainier.

🚨 A new model study suggests #seamounts could have a big effect on how the ocean circulates! This phenomenon, noticed especially in the Pacific Ocean, could account for about 1/3 of deep-ocean mixing! Seamounts are #OceanLifeLines! #ProtectSeamounts eos.org/articles/model…
