…spheres, water and biological sampling systems, and deck support gear. The Cameron lander comes equipped as a complete deep-exploration system that can be configured in a full 14-foot, 1,000-pound mode—the workhorse design for Cameron’s historic DEEPSEA CHALLENGE expedition—or smaller versions that can be deployed from a variety of vessels. “James…

…hands-on knowledge about their sampling instruments. The new COVID-19 restrictions—including a six-day hotel isolation and three swab tests before boarding the ship—meant non-sailing technicians could not come to the dock to set up equipment. Subsequently, our setup and training involved online protocols, pre-cruise socially-distanced walkthroughs of plankton net deployments, and…
