Interspersed with deployments, sampling, and data processing, the scientists and crew have been decorating Styrofoam cups to be sent to great depths in the ocean. This is a common tradition among oceanographers and something that is well planned before we leave home -- we make sure to bring numerous cups, sharpies, and mesh bags. In addition, some people bring cups from home that have been colored weeks in advance by friends and family. Yes, we are that serious about this activity!

The cups are placed in a mesh bag that is then zip tied onto the CTD rosette frame and lowered to 3000m (that’s almost 2 miles below the surface!!!).

Pressure increases with depth and forces the air out of
the Styrofoam and thus the cups shrink. Shapes and text are deformed and
distorted as a once 4 inch tall cup becomes a mere 2 inches!

With good luck, the cups make the entire 3 hour journey down and back up again. Cups are generally decorated with cruise information and serve as a unique souvenir from our journey.

ReplyDeleteI think this can make up for a great custom koozies inspiration. The pop of color is hard not to notice and the shell design has it's own certain charm.
ReplyDeleteYou could actually turn a simple pocket folder printing arts into a new creation. This activity while traveling at sea is one great way of letting your creativity work double time.

I'm here again! Anyways, besides that, this can be a great product. My friend is doing some souvenirs with aqua themes and she's selling it online. It's been a hit since then.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
