Dr Marv Lilley proudly holds one of his resistivity-hydrogen probes. This instrument was designed to collect temperature, resistivity and hydrogen concentration in hot hydrothermal fluids. The resistivity is the inverse of conductivity which is used to calculate the amount of salt in a fluid. In other words, the instrument reads the salinity of the fluid. These probes will stay on the seafloor for several months to a year.
