Thanks to the dedicated and tireless work of our crew on board R/V Falkor (too) supporting a worldwide array of researchers and scientists — we’re working daily to boldly explore our unknown ocean, every day! #OceanExplorationDay Read more: www.linkedin.com/posts/schmid...
Happy Ocean Exploration Day! January 23 marks the anniversary of Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh's first descent to the deepest known point on Earth. Today, we celebrate all global efforts to explore the ocean and those who dedicate their lives to this work. Share how you explore! #oceanexplorationday
Whoa, check out this amazing tool that lets you see the live location of most research vessels around the globe.

Here are some old thoughts on the importance of exploring our oceans, with a #MarineLife slant for sure. What are your favorite reasons for exploring the world's oceans?

Today is #OceanExplorationDay! #otd in 1960 Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. You can read all about it in 'Seven Miles Down. The Story of the Bathyscaph Trieste' by Jacques Piccard and Robert S.Dietz (local 📖 ref: BE.35/P)
Happy #OceanExplorationDay!
Have you seen the videos from when scientists from the University of Bergen was on a cruise with @oceanxorg.bsky.social ?
There were #sharks, #amphipoda #bioluminescence, #hydrozoa, and so much more! youtu.be/WHaNe8GN2iI?...

This underwater view off the continental shelf of North America shows ocean currents at different depths in this NASA-created image. Blue lines streak across the image to illustrate the currents.
It's #OceanExplorationDay!

On #OceanExplorationDay 2025, let's honor the past while committing to a future of discovery and action.
What are your stories of exploration?
What resources and programs make it possible?
How can we inspire and drive progress now and in the years to come?
Two black and white photos. On the left: two men, Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard, are crammed inside the bathyscaphe Trieste, surrounded by equipment, gauges, and buttons. Right: photograph of Trieste hanging from a crane. The top of it looks like a mini submarine and is filled with jet fuel. The bottom is a little ball in which Don and Jacques are crammed.
Two years ago, we launched #OceanExplorationDay to honor the historic dive of Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh, who reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench on this day in 1960—a moment that ignited the world's fascination with the deep ocean.
And @katycroffbell.bsky.social thank you so much for starting #OceanExplorationDay!

Happy #OceanExplorationDay, to honor the historic #ChallengerDeep dive made on this day in 1960. And congrats to the all-girl @lego robotics "Team Imagination" for your prize at the "Submerged" FIRST LEGO League Championship for all of southern California!
You got next!!! 🌊 🦑
For #oceanexplorationday, here's a look at the history of science on ships. Once used as scientific instruments themselves, ships eventually became floating laboratories. As their vessels changed, life and work for scientists at sea changed as well.

Today is #oceanexplorationday! On this day in 1960, Jacques Piccard and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh were the first to reach a record depth of approximately 10,911 meters (35,797 ft) in the research bathyscaphe Trieste in the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific.
Happy #OceanExplorationDay! Ocean exploration is vital for climate awareness, promoting stewardship, and innovation. Understanding our marine environments helps address global needs, promote sustainable resource management, and spark innovations with broad applications.
Happy #OceanExplorationDay! So happy there is a growing community of explorers here on bluesky 😊@deepseadawn.bsky.social @divaamon.bsky.social @ericjmartin.bsky.social @drandrewthaler.bsky.social @annamet.bsky.social @dsbsoc.bsky.social @drcraigmc.bsky.social
Happy #OceanExplorationDay!
