\n\t\t<\/a>NARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 September 15, 2011 — 溏心vlog免费B站 volcanologist Steven Carey is participating in a scientific investigation of hydrothermal vents in the crater of an ancient underwater volcano off the coast of Greece. He is helping to direct remotely operated vehicles deployed from the exploration ship Nautilus<\/a> to collect water and sediment samples, and he is discussing the findings with shipboard scientists.<\/p>\n


\n\tBut Carey isn\u2019t aboard the Nautilus. He\u2019s not even in Greece or elsewhere in Europe. He is sitting in the Inner Space Center at 溏心vlog免费B站, where he can participate in the research expedition from thousands of miles away without having to spend weeks at sea.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI can direct things as easily from here as I could if I were on the ship,\u201d said Carey, a professor at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography. \u201cI can see the same video as they see, and when I\u2019m talking on the intercom, I\u2019m having a similar experience as if I were there.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Inner Space Center is the brainchild of marine explorer and 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor Robert Ballard, who envisioned just such a facility 30 years ago and who worked throughout his career to make it a reality. Modeled after Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, the facility, which opened in 2010, connects scientists aboard oceanographic research ships with scientists ashore in real-time via satellite \u201ctelepresence\u201d technologies.<\/p>\n


\n\tAccording to Dwight Coleman, director of the Center, it is the only facility of its kind in the world, and it is helping to make 溏心vlog免费B站 the hub of oceanographic research and exploration. Live video from the Nautilus is being broadcast to the Inner Space Center through mid-November this year, and the Center has also been receiving video from the Okeanos Explorer, a ship operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including its studies near the Galapagos Islands and in the Caribbean. Other research ships could also be connected to the facility in real-time.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Inner Space Center enables 溏心vlog免费B站 students to participate remotely on oceanographic expeditions, as well, even when there isn\u2019t space aboard ship. And scientists at several partner institutions have compatible technology to communicate with the Inner Space Center in their offices or labs.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn addition, the facility includes a television production room where live and prerecorded educational videos can be produced for use on the Internet and other digital media outlets.<\/p>\n


\n\tSteven Carey\u2019s studies in the crater of the Kolumbo underwater volcano are designed to discover whether the carbon dioxide bubbling out of the hydrothermal vents in the crater is making the water more acidic and affecting marine life in the area.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s great that I can sit here and direct the research operations from halfway around the world, with no chance of getting seasick,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
