SCIMPI Subsea Borehole Observatory
SCIMPI is an inexpensive subsea borehole observatory for unconsolidated sediments. Just deployed on IODP³-NSF/ECORD Exp. 501: New England Shelf Hydrogeology. Let's discuss your scientific ocean drilling project. transcendengineering.com/scimpi
- Short video segment about SCIMPIs IODP3 Expedition 501 deployment off Cape Cod. @wcax.com Thank you for making a complex subject easy to understand!
- A bit more about our latest SCIMPI deployment.
- @jonaspreine.bsky.social @elodielebas.bsky.social we are trying to get in touch regarding the Santorini conference, kindly DM. Thank you!
- Check it out...
- On the behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am thrilled to announce that the 2nd Submarine Volcanism Workshop will be held on 19–22 October 2026 in Santorini, Greece, and online 🌊🌋 📣 Interested in participating? Please sign up here: lnkd.in/e4-nfpAK 🔎 More information provided in the flyer below 👇
- Check out the team working on a choreographed deployment of SCIMPI on the L/B Robert at the end of the summer.
- Scientific ocean drilling has been a challenging field to navigate in the past several years (understatement😅) Transcend Engineering is a small, nimble company dedicated to adapting to changes and offering reliable borehole monitoring solutions for the long-term.
- The next generation of SCIMPI is under development. What subsea measurements would you like to include in your next project? Would you like to learn more about how to include SCIMPI in your proposals? Our scientific team is available to talk through your ideas, just reach out. 🌊
- Boosting…
- Are you interested in how climate change is reshaping #Arctic #marine ecosystems and if the risks associated with harmful algal blooms and marine #phycotoxins is increasing? 🧬❄️🌊 Come, join us in beautiful and vibrant Copenhagen - 2 weeks left to apply! #protistsonsky #ancientDNA #HAB
- Ooh ooh 👋
- Love the attention @ecord.bsky.social Expedition 501 is receiving, and of course our entire SCIMPI team is thrilled with having been part of the expedition.
- Fantastic!
- Wowza!
- More aurora…
- Did you catch the aurora? 🤩
- Fantastic way to start a Tuesday 😉
- “Four parts per thousand was a eureka moment,” Dugan said, because the finding suggested that the water must have been connected to a terrestrial system in the past, or still is. apnews.com/article/fres... @ecord.bsky.social #Expedition501 #ScientificOceanDrilling 🌊
- Yayyysss! And our team worked with the crew to deploy SCIMPI to collect subsea data.
- What scientist doesn't love thinking up a good acronym? 😜 🌊 #scientificoceandrilling #subsea

- Amplifying...
- Re-upping. A little distraction before bedtime from the news of the day.
- Oh this is a cool time lapse. Our Chief Technologist Steve took video this leaving the L/B Robert scientific drill ship (yup, that's it way up above the water!) on the transport vessel the Gaspee. #ScientificOceanDrilling #Expedition501 🌊

- Nicely done! 🙌
- Expeditions can be weeks or months long and accommodate crew who are their for a short time to perform their speciality. How does the crew switch out? From the supply ship, which is much smaller than the expedition vessels, so a Billy Pugh basket is loaded with the crew for the transfer. Hang on!
- Even a SCIMPI has an origin story, here's mine... #IODP #ScientificOceanDrilling #ScientificDrilling

- Oh no
- “I just want these students to have met somebody, anybody,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be me but somebody who’s a practicing scientist who shares their particular disability, so that they can at least say, ‘Okay, if I really want to be a scientist, it can be done.’”

MBL researchers study this species, found in Sippewissett Marsh, for development and regeneration. Image taken using a polychromatic polarizing microscope. 📷 Michael Shribak and Karen Echeverri

- September 1 Deadline 👀👍
- Call for proposals to the Magellan3 Workshop Series Programme now open! iodp3.org/call-for-pro...
- Reposted by SCIMPI Subsea Borehole ObservatoryAfter 74 days at sea, IODP³-NSF #Expedition501 has completed offshore operations! Next step ➡️ onshore science at Bremen Core Repository to to split, sample, and analyze the sediment cores and water collected. Stay tuned! 🌎 Read more about the successful offshore phase: www.ecord.org/iodp%c2%b3-n...

- Not naming names 🤨
- The first SCIMPi was deployed from the JOIDES Resolution in 2013.
