Throughout WHOI’s history, basic research has spawned unexpected discoveries and applications (left to right). Surprising findings about sound propagation in seawater led Al Vine to build devices to aid submariners in World War II (1). Later, Vine led efforts to build deep-submergence vehicles, including the submersible Alvin, which located a hydrogen bomb on the seafloor for the Navy in 1966 (2), and discovered hydrothermal vents sustaining chemosynthetic organisms in 1977 (3). Biologists Howard Sanders and George Hampson (4) collaborated with chemist and gas chromatography pioneer Max Blumer (5) to study persistent coastal impacts from the West Falmouth oil spill in 1969. WHOI’s expertise and technology, including the yellow deep-sea robot Sentry (6), combined to tackle difficult questions about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.
