The Importance of Technology in Science
Tools are very important in science. Dr. Tracy Villareal and many other
researchers use technology to collect, record, and analyze data. View
this film clip to see what type of tools the scientists on board the
R/V New Horizon use to help them study ocean waters.
Video Plankton Recorder
In this video you will see Dr.
Mark Dennett and his video camera. It’s
a very unusual camera that takes very unusual videos underwater. View
Dr. Dennett’s film and see how he has modified a common camcorder.

Conserving water is important, especially on
a ship.
This film clip explains how the crew uses, makes, and conserves fresh
water.
Emergency
Drills
Life on marine research vessels is really very safe. However, just like in school,
emergency drills are necessary. Watch this clip to see how emergency drills on
ships are different than at school.
Collecting
Evidence
Marine scientists collect evidence in
a variety of ways. Dr. Mike McKay and others use water samples collected
from a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth Rosette; known as a CTD. This
clip will help you understand what a CTD is, and why scientists use this
instrument.
