The Discovery Channel Canada's Daily Planet show featured the 2018 SCOPE cruise on board the Schmidt Ocean Institute's R/V Falkor. Check out the SCOPE and SOI cruise websites for more information.

SCOPE Co-Director, Dr. Edward DeLong gave a Simons Foundation Life Science Lecture on 6 Dec in New York City on "Deciphering the Ocean’s Microbiome". Watch the video here or on the Simons Foundation Lecture series website.

The 2016 SCOPE Spring cruise had a very full back deck schedule, with up to 11 instruments and sea gliders in the water at any one time! This video highlights the back deck recovery of the 48 hour in situ grazing array.

Ed DeLong was a recent guest on ThinkTech Hawaii's "Research in Manoa" show (4 January 2016) to talk about SCOPE, C-MORE, and the Ocean Station ALOHA. Jay Fidell, the host of ThinkTech Hawaii, asks Ed about methodologies behind SCOPE/C-MORE research at Stn ALOHA, but they also discuss how SCOPE/C-MORE work affects both local and global science communities.

Ocean Station ALOHA was designated a Milestones in Microbiology Site by The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) at a ceremony held on November 17, 2015 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Daniel K. Inouye C-MORE Hale. The ASM designated Ocean Station ALOHA a Milestones in Microbiology Site in recognition of historic and visionary contributions to microbial oceanography since its founding in October 1988.

On Monday 16 June 2014, the Simons Foundation announced the establishment of a new basic research program on the ecology of marine microorganisms. The Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE) is a $40M, 5-year effort that will bring world class marine researchers together to study microbial diversity and dynamics at Station ALOHA, the open ocean site established in 1988 by the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program. A press conference was organized by the University of Hawaii (UH) and the event was held at the UH's Marine Expeditionary Center alongside the research vessel Kilo Moana. Speakers included UH President David Lassner, SOEST Dean and Interim UH at Manoa Vice Chancellor for Research Brian Taylor, and SCOPE co-Directors Edward DeLong and David Karl.
