1. COFS School Of Oceanography Research Within the School of oceanography facilities are available research conducted by facultyand students in as well as manned and remotelyoperated submersibles. http://www.cofs.washington.edu/about/oceanography.html

The research program in the School of Oceanography presently is comprised of more than 170 projects covering a broad range of oceanographic investigations, ranging from one-person studies to multidisciplinary, multi-university projects. Annual direct expenditures exceed $11 million. Well-equipped teaching and research laboratories are augmented by the 65-foot R/V "Clifford A. Barnes" and various small craft. In 1991, the 274-foot R/V "Thomas G. Thompson" joined the fleet. Funds from federal agencies and from the state of Washington provide research support. Major sources of support during 1987-88 were the National Science Foundation (62%), the Office of Naval Research (22%), the State of Washington (4%), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (3%), the Department of Energy (2%), and other federal agencies such as NASA and EPA (5%). The remaining support was derived from various state and local governmental agencies and from private organizations. Biological Oceanography Chemical Oceanography Marine Geology and Geophysics Physical Oceanography Biological Oceanography There is potential for confusion between biological oceanography and other branches of science that use marine organisms as models for studies. Some lines of inquiry are distinguished easily from oceanography, such as medical research use of hemoglobins or toxins manufactured by marine organisms because of their relative simplicity, neurophysiological use of squids and tubeworms for their usually large and manipulable nerve cells, and embryological use of sea urchin eggs as easily obtainable models of animal development. Marine biology, which is often a focus of study at the undergraduate level, and a common baccalaureate degree for students entering biological oceanography graduate programs, is rarely a field for more specialized graduate study in oceanography. The title of marine biologist has given way to more specific labels such as toxicologist, developmental biologist, or neurophysiologist.

5. Seemotive, Submersibles Bathyscaphe Bathyskaph Bathysphere started the development of small, maneuvrable submersibles. took the Soucoupe alonghis research vessel Calypso . the bestknown in oceanography, Dr. Robert http://www.seemotive.de/html/tauch.htm

Seemotive - Sea Topics, Research Submersibles! Submarines, Part 1 The 'Trieste' at the deepest point of all oceans! The research submersibles are the first, more peaceful part of the theme 'submarines'. The second part containing the military submarines will follow, see below. The dream of mankind, to explore the dark depths of the oceans, surely is old as the dream of flying. Around the Mediterranian exists a wellknown legend of Alexander the Great: 'The great king sat for 70 days in his boat of glass and had a look at the wonders and the beasts of the deep. During that time he discovered a huge fish. The fish needed three days to pass by.' (stamp to the left) To the right we can see the prototype of the first submarine of the great designer John Philip Holland, the 'Holland No. 1'. In 1878 the tests were completed successfully and he continued to built military submarines. In 1897 the American shipbuilder Simon Lake built the 'Argonaut I'. The boat had a gasoline-driven engine to be able to drive above and below the water surface and real wheels to drive at the bottom of the sea. The crew got fresh air through long pipes leading up to the surface. The sub had an overall length of 36 feet and, in 1898, the boat conducted a succesful voyage from Norfolk to Sandy Hook. The first people who entered the world of eternal darkness and returning alive were William Beebe and Otis Barton. They dived into the deep inside a ball of steel called 'Bathysphere', (Greek for 'deep ball'). The ball had a weight of 2250 kg, a diameter of 4.5ft and the sheets were 3.81cm pure steel. The ball hang from a steel cable, combined with rubber tubing for electricity and a telephone cable. In 1930 they dived down to 1416 feet, in 1932 to 2165 ft, in 1934 to 2979 ft. (When we speak about submersibles, the bathysphere simply is a 'must-tell'.)

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Deep ocean submersibles such as the Mirs and Nautile continue to be effective platforms for undersea work and research because of their extensive sensor, instrumentation, and manipulative capability. The Mir submersibles are considered by some scientists to be the best equipped and most capable research tools for deep sea (6,000 m) research. Although Russia and Ukraine have developed limited remote sensing capability for ocean studies using Lidar and acoustic Doppler current profilers, these designs are not unique and are within the current state of practice. Oceanographic instruments (CTDs, current meters, etc.) are being marketed by Russia and Ukraine. Their data quality is unknown, and intercalibrations should be conducted to determine measurement capabilities. Other factors, such as price, reliability, and maintainability, must also be addressed. Research-type ROVs and AUVs are being actively developed by several European countries outside of the FSU. Unmanned platforms for undersea and oceanographic research using enhanced sensors and samplers are being supported as major programs by the EEC. This is in marked contrast to the United States, where there is no major focused thrust for developing scientific AUVs. REFERENCES Babb, Richard J.

Themes Science Earth Sciences Oceanography ... Trieste Office of Naval Research Bathyscaph Arrives In San Diego for West Coast Oceanographic Diving The Bathyscaph Trieste has arrived in San Diego, California after a voyage from Castellamare, Italy via Norfolk, Virginia, for use in research of the ocean depths off the Southern California coast. The 70-ton diving craft, recently purchased by the Office of Naval Research from renowned Swiss scientists Auguste and Jacques Piccard, has been made available to west coast oceanographers to conduct basic scientific research involving acoustical and biological investigations of Pacific waters in the San Diego area. Long-range objectives of this program are to explore the ocean environment at great depths, and to evaluate the bathyscaph's potentialities both as a research tool and as a deep-diving submarine rescue vessel. Types of research to be conducted will be planned jointly by the Office of Naval Research and the Navy Electronics Laboratory, who will operate the bathyscaph. The first dives are expected to be made in late fall. Pilots at the Navy Electronics Laboratory will be trained to operate the bathyscaph during the coming year by Jacques Piccard, who assisted his father, Professor Auguste Piccard, in designing Trieste and building the Trieste. He is a veteran of 46 dives in the Trieste since she was first placed into service. Mr. Giusseppe Buono, of Italy, has also been engaged by U.S. National Research Council, as an expert in the mechanical aspects of operations.
