We’ve boarded the Thomas G. Thompson for Sentry fieldwork deployments to the Mariana Trench. If successful, we will collect data about the oldest possible geologic features on our planet, which the science party hopes to use in understanding the early stages of earth.

We depart and return to Guam.

Also on board is an experimental new sensor (details not yet public), and a potential opportunity to revisit updated deployments of the DYNOS architecture.
