Last week, @cmos-scmo.bsky.social members, the ROPOS Team & our Board of Directors gathered together to honour the ROPOS Team's achievements! We are honoured to receive the JP Tully Medal, which recognizes those whose scientific contributions have had a significant impact on Canadian oceanography!

🚢 We are about to begin a 3.5-week expedition on the R/V Isabu to support the Korean Institute of Ocean Science and Technology in the Pacific Ocean! #KIOST 1/1

🚢 We've just begun our first expedition of 2025! From May 3 - June 13, we'll be in the Indian Ocean aboard the R/V Isabu supporting the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology! #KIOST 1/

🧪🦑 Last summer, we captured incredible selfie footage of @roposrov.bsky.social, took ground-breaking temperature measurements with an extra long probe & spotted a rare squid with eggs with the NEPDEP 2024 team. Read about it on our website! tinyurl.com/bdd3ws4a #nepdep #DeepSea #MarineTechnology

Season's Greetings from Doug, the Keiths, Will, Peter, Barry, Luke, Robin, Ray and Laurie at the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility @roposrov.bsky.social! 📸 Toby Hall, DFO Pacific

So excited to read "ROPOS and the underwater volcano" to my nephew - thanks Doug for all the tips on getting tiny humans excited about the ocean! 🌊👶🌊

The Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility is at the AGU's Ocean Science's Meeting! If you're around, come learn about @roposrov.bsky.social and our world-class team with CSSF's president, Doug Bancroft! #OSM24 #OSM2024

Last summer, 3 of CSSF's team members conducted contract work, piloting Amundsen Science's ASTRID ROV. Read about it on our website! tinyurl.com/y6pmc5fa

Happy Holidays from the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility @roposrov.bsky.social! - Doug Bancroft, Keith Shepherd, Keith Tamburri, Will Glatt, Peter Lockhart, Barry Brake, Ray Morgan and Luke Girard 📸 Willie Schumann

We have successfully completed out mission aboard the R/V Sonne in the Indian Ocean with BGR! We will begin our holiday break soon after we return home. In the meantime, feel free to check out @roposrov.bsky.social's tentative schedule for 2024! tinyurl.com/2v7njc2j 4/4

The VISIONS expeditions represent a long-term, international collaboration between the NSF-OOI Regional Cabled Array* and the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility @roposrov.bsky.social! Read about our collaboration here: tinyurl.com/59ehd6f9 📸 S. Martynenko, University of Washington 3/

Our summary for VISIONS '22 is now up on our website! Read more here: tinyurl.com/r44bnzz6 2/

Around this time last year, @roposrov.bsky.social performed its 5th servicing of the University of Washington NSF-OOI Regional Cabled Observatory as part of the VISIONS '22 Expedition! 📸 J. Tilley, UW Applied Physics Laboratory 1/

[originally posted on X, Oct 2, 2023] @roposrov.bsky.social is bidding adieu to our base in Mauritius, ready to perform its series of dives for the next 7 weeks (Sept 29 – Nov 20th)! 📸Keith Tamburri, @roposrov.bsky.social Team #BGR 3/

Nearing the end of mobilisation, with @roposrov.bsky.social resting on deck. You may notice that there is a different ROV system (containers, winch, LARS, etc., aka 'spread') than was used on the Tully. This is because we have 2, which reduces shipping! 📸Luke Girard, @roposrov.bsky.social Team 2/

[originally posted on X, Sept 29, 2023] Today, we begin our final expedition of 2023! We are back in the Indian Ocean, this time aboard the R/V Sonne with Germany's Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe #BGR! 🚢1/
