Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, 2007 ► Mapping and characterizing physical, chemical, biological environments and ecosystems, as well as maritime heritage resources; ► Developing a better understanding of ocean dynamics and interactions in new places and/or at new levels; ► Development of new ocean sensors and systems; ► Reaching out to the public to communicate how and why exploration of the oceans is to the benefit of current and future generations. - Ocean Exploration and Research - Exploration Goals - Ocean Exploration and Research - Exploration Goals Accomplished within the context of four principal activities: Data and observations from OE expeditions will result in new discoveries, new insights, new knowledge and new frontiers.

Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, 2007 Some EX Operational Guiding Principles ► Reconnaissance vessel operating in regions with a high potential for discovery. ► Expeditions will be interdisciplinary. ► Most of the investigative scientific team will participate from one of five shore-based Exploration Command Centers (ECC) via telepresence. ► Investigative team will be participating on behalf of the entire oceanographic community. ► Goal is to have results of expeditions available immediately. ► Distribution of “iconographic” set of products - Ocean Exploration and Research -

Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, 2007 ► Deep Water Mapping (6000 m). ► Science-Class Remotely Operated Vehicle Operations (6000 m). ► Daily “Ewing Stations” (e.g., Water-Column and Seabed Characterization and Sampling. ► Real-Time Broadband Satellite Communications (Data, Education and Outreach) Some Key Okeanos Explorer Operations Will complement ongoing investigations aboard more traditionally outfitted, larger vessels. - Ocean Exploration and Research -

Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, 2007 ► Investigative team will need to be able to recognize compelling new discoveries or anomalous observations when they occur. ► Shore-based and at-sea team will be supplemented by “scientists on call”. ► There will be a dynamic interplay between adequately characterized discoveries and maximizing exploration of new areas. ► Overall, the objective will be to obtain sufficiently compelling and rigorous data sets to justify or compel follow-on expeditions. Ewing Stations: A new (old) way of doing oceanography… Ewing Stations: A new (old) way of doing oceanography… Objective: Daily stations to acquire standard data sets

Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, 2007 Progress and Timelines

Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, Ocean Exploration and Research - This year… ► Series of local shakedown cruises for purpose of confirming EX’s operational readiness ► “Sticks and Boxes” cruise from NE Pacific to NWHI ► Possible EX Announcement of Opportunity Next year… ► Expeditions within the Pacific Basin with target areas determined with community-based input

Ocean Exploration Advisory Working Group Meeting – October 23, Ocean Exploration and Research - How you can help today and tomorrow… Taking into account the operational paradigm and - Understanding the discovery mission of the Okeanos Explorer: Identify technologies that will make the EX The Flagship Exploration Vessel of the United States.
