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.

On that project, too, we refined the overhead work protocol to leverage available tooling and rigging, enabling us to emplace and release each system within about two hours of receiving clearance to proceed. 2/2

Thank you for the question. Each deployment involves a minor bit of specialization based on the expedition and equipment. For instance, we just deployed two systems in the New England shelf using a terrestrial drill rig on a lift boat, and released them using a Boart Longyear overshot. 1/2

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. 🌊

Yayyysss! And our team worked with the crew to deploy SCIMPI to collect subsea data.

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 🌊

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!

The latest #TalesFromTheDeep episode on the StoryCorps Archive is from Carl Brenner, director of the U.S. Science Support Program for scientific ocean drilling. Take a listen to Carl's background -you might be surprised at what he majored in at college- and his leadership role in this community. 🌊⚒️

"What scientific ocean drilling has done for the nation and globally is yielded a staggering amount of information about Earth history"

“The breadth of the science that is done in this program is pretty exciting and you don't have to be a trained marine geologist to appreciate that.” This quote comes from Carl Brenner, the director of...

I’m on it! I’ve been using Rush to edit Procreate timelapses. This will be fun. Thank you to you and the eels😉

Oh man, I'm a ProCreate user and clearly not paying attention! 😅

It is a hoot! What software did you use to make it?

Good day! We also have a “SHRIMPI” a story we will be sharing soon.

Howdy! We are Transcend Engineering. We develop innovative sensors for scientists. This account is for SCIMPI, a subsea borehole observatory that was just deployed on @ecord.bsky.social Expedition 501. We look forward to skeeting, learning and sharing here on Bluesky. 🌊

A SCIMPI (simple cabled instrument measuring parameters in-situ is about 3 feet long and 6” wide, fabricated in steel or titanium, staged for deployment on the rust colored metal deck of a drilling ship. There is a yellow communications cable with many white and black floats running on either side of the SCIMPI to control the depth of deployment.

“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.’”
