The Subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 3 p.m. in room SR–253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Mark Begich, pre- siding. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. MARK BEGICH, U.S. SENATOR FROM ALASKA Senator BEGICH. Thank you all for being here this afternoon. Ap- preciate it. This hearing will come to order. This is the Oceans Sub- committee hearing on ‘‘Deep Sea Challenge: Innovative Partner- ships in Ocean Observation.’’ So, again, thank you all very much for being here. I will make a few opening comments, I will turn to Senator Wick- er, and then we will start with the panel. But, again, we really ap- preciate you taking the time. I was joking just a minute ago that it was like, when I walked in, I saw the big line out there, I am glad I bought my advance movie ticket to be here today. [Laughter.] Senator BEGICH. Otherwise, I am not sure I would have got in. But I am glad I am here. Again, I want to thank the witnesses for being here, especially James Cameron. Film director James Cameron is most widely known for taking audiences truly out of this world in blockbuster hits like ‘‘Aliens’’ and ‘‘Avatar,’’ but it is his nonfiction endeavors here on Earth that may be actually most alien to us. Last year, in a partnership with the National Geographic Society and Rolex, Mr. Cameron under- took the most difficult ocean dive possible, descending to the Chal- lenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench. The Challenger Deep is the deepest known part of the Earth’s oceans, more than 6.8 miles underwater. Mr. Cameron is the first person to have undertaken the dive alone and is one of the only three humans to ever reach that depth. By contrast, more than 500 people have traveled into outer space.

Ninety percent of the ocean floor remains uncharted, and recent estimates suggest that we have only identified 20 to 25 percent of the marine life in exist- ence. To further understanding of our oceans, Mr. Cameron recently donated the submersible system and science platform used in the dive, the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, to the Woods Hole Oceano- graphic Institution. Woods Hole, which I have been to more than once, is an incred- ible facility. The President and Director, Susan Avery, is here today, as well, and I look forward to hearing about the institute’s plan to use the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER to support ocean science. But we cannot rely solely on the graciousness of individuals to advance science. And the need for greater ocean research and mon- itoring has never been clearer. Whether it is ocean acidification, sea level rise, warming water temperatures, or shifting fish popu- lations, our oceans are changing. This is something felt most acutely in the Arctic and in my state of Alaska, where the average temperature rises are rising twice as fast than anywhere else and the sea ice is thawing at unprece- dented rates. If we are to prepare for these changes, we have to better our un- derstanding of the oceans. In 2009, Congress enacted several pieces of legislation aimed at improving our oceans research and observ- ing capabilities. The Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System Act pro- vided for the development of an integrated system of coastal and ocean observations for the Nation’s coasts, oceans, and Great Lakes. Development of the Integrated Ocean Observing System is ongoing but is already providing for better access to the ocean data that

  • Mapping the Ocean Floor Using the Hess Model Background Information Before World War II, Not Much Was Known About the Ocean Floor
    WLHS/Marine Biology/Oppelt Name ________________________ Mapping the Ocean Floor Using the Hess Model Background Information Before World War II, not much was known about the ocean floor. The development of sonar during the war made more detailed maps of the ocean floor possible. Harry Hammond Hess, a geologist from Princeton University, was the captain of the assault transport vessel Cape Johnson. While stationed in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, Hess used the echo location (sonar) capabilities of this ship to collect data about the ocean floor. He later used this data to construct map of the ocean floor. He later used this information to construct a map of the ocean floor that led him to develop the hypothesis of the sea floor spreading. Echo location works by sending a signal out, called a ping, from a ship. That sound bounces off the ocean floor and is reflected back to the ship. By timing how long it takes to hear the echo of the sound, scientists can determine how far it is to the bottom. To determine the distance to the ocean floor, the time of the echo and the speed of sound in ocean water (1500 meters per second) must be determined. For example, if a ship sends out a ping that is reflected back in 1.34 seconds, the ping took 0.67 seconds to go down and 0.67 seconds to reflect back (1.34 sec ÷ 2 = 0.67 sec). To find the distance from the ship to the ocean floor, multiply 0.67 by the speed of sound in ocean water (1500 m/s).

    Scuba diving history Scuba history from a diving bell developed by Guglielmo de Loreno in 1535 up to John Bennett’s dive in the Philippines to amazing 308 meter in 2001 and much more… Humans have been diving since man was required to collect food from the sea. The need for air and protection under water was obvious. Let us find out how mankind conquered the sea in the quest to discover the beauty of the under water world. 1535 – A diving bell was developed by Guglielmo de Loreno. 1650 – Guericke developed the first air pump. 1667 – Robert Boyle observes the decompression sickness or “the bends”. After decompression of a snake he noticed gas bubbles in the eyes of a snake. 1691 – Another diving bell a weighted barrels, connected with an air pipe to the surface, was patented by Edmund Halley. 1715 – John Lethbridge built an underwater cylinder that was supplied via an air pipe from the surface with compressed air. To prevent the water from entering the cylinder, greased leather connections were integrated at the cylinder for the operators arms. 1776 – The first submarine was used for a military attack. 1826 – Charles Anthony and John Deane patented a helmet for fire fighters. This helmet was used for diving too. This first version was not fitted to the diving suit. The helmet was attached to the body of the diver with straps and air was supplied from the surfa 1837 – Augustus Siebe sealed the diving helmet of the Deane brothers’ to a watertight diving suit and became the standard for many dive expeditions.

  • The Next Generation of Ocean Exploration. Kelly Walsh Repeats Father’S Historic Dive, 60 Years Later, on Father’S Day Weekend
    From father to son; the next generation of ocean exploration. Kelly Walsh repeats father’s historic dive, 60 years later, on Father’s Day weekend DSSV Pressure Drop. Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench 200miles SW of Guam. June 20th, 2020 – Kelly Walsh, 52, today completed a historic dive to approximately 10,925m in the Challenger Deep. The dive location was the Western Pool, the same area that was visited by Kelly’s father, Captain Don Walsh, USN (Ret), PhD, who was the pilot of the bathyscaph ‘Trieste’ during the first dive to the Challenger Deep in 1960. Mr. Walsh’s 12- hour dive, coordinated by EYOS Expeditions, was undertaken aboard the deep-sea vehicle Triton 36000/2 ‘Limiting Factor” piloted by the owner of the vehicle Victor Vescovo, a Dallas, Texas based businessman and explorer. The expedition to the Challenger Deep is a joint venture by Caladan Oceanic, Triton Submarines and EYOS Expeditions. Mr. Vescovo and his team made headlines last year by completing a circumnavigation of the globe that enabled Mr. Vescovo to become the first person to dive to the deepest point of each of the worlds five oceans. The dives by father and son connect a circle of exploration history that spans 60 years. “It was a hugely emotional journey for me,” said Kelly Walsh aboard DSSV Pressure Drop, the expedition’s mothership. “I have been immersed in the story of Dad’s dive since I was born-- people find it fascinating. It has taken 60 years but thanks to EYOS Expeditions and Victor Vescovo we have now taken this quantum leap forward in our ability to explore the deep ocean.

Four of our five oceans extend to depths exceeding 6,000 m, putting them beyond the reach of most commercially available technologies and certainly beyond all human-occupied vehicles currently in operation. Scientific interest in these ultradeep ecosystems has greatly increased over the last decade, but technological Deeps Expedition) Five (Credit: limitations have favored the use of simple static lander vehicles over remotely operated or human-occupied ex- ploratory vehicles. The Five Deeps Expedition (FDE) is changing all that. In 2015, Victor Vescovo, an American private-equity in- vestor and explorer and founder of Caladan Oceanic, approached Triton Submarines in Florida with a vision to design, engineer, build, test and support a full-ocean- depth-capable and independently accredited two-person manned submersible, which he intended to dive to the deepest point in each of the five oceans over the course of a year-long expedition. In a little over three years, this vision became reality. In December 2018, Vescovo performed his first solo dive in a two-person, full-ocean-depth submersible to 8,376 m in the Puerto Rico Trench, and the expedition is now more than halfway through its journey. The FDE is supported by an international team of scientists, engineers, filmmakers and operational crew (both ship and submersible).
