Rubicon Foundation, Inc. is anon-profit organization devoted to contributing to the interdependent dynamic between research, exploration, science and education.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Durham, North Carolina and is primarily supported by donations and grants.[ 2] [ 3] Office of Naval Research from 2008 to 2010.Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has providedpro bono services to assist in copyright searches and support.[ 4]
As of 2021, the Rubicon Research Repository is no longer available online.
In 2002, diversBrian Armstrong ,Gene Hobbs , and James Wagner formed the first board of directors for the Rubicon Foundation.[ 5]
Rubicon Research Repository [ edit ] TheRubicon Research Repository (RRR ) was the foundation's premier project that started in 2006.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] hyperbaric andhypobaric medicine, as well as other environmentalphysiology topics.[ 2] [ 3] [ 6] [ 8]
The RRR contains workshops and annual meeting proceedings[ 2] [ 3] [ 6] American Academy of Underwater Sciences ;[ 9] [ 10] Divers Alert Network 's workshops and Report ondecompression illness , diving fatalities, and Project Dive Exploration publications spanning from 1988 to 2007;[ 11] Diving Science And Technology Corp /Professional Association of Diving Instructors symposia and technical reports;[ 12] National Underwater Accident Data Center at theUniversity of Rhode Island diving accident and fatality reports spanning 1970 to 1989;[ 13] Smithsonian Institution Scientific Diving Program;[ 14] South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society Journal spanning 1971 to 2005;[ 15] [ 16]
The collection also holds journals, abstracts, and workshops from theUndersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society [ 2] [ 3] [ 6] Undersea Biomedical Research [ 17] [ 18] Journal of Hyperbaric Medicine [ 19] [ 20] Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal [ 21] [ 22] [ 23] [ 24]
Also available are technical reports[ 2] [ 3] [ 6] Defence R&D Canada ;[ 25] Office of Naval Research ;[ 26] Royal Australian Navy School of Underwater Medicine ;[ 27] National Aeronautics and Space Administration ;US Navy Experimental Diving Unit ;[ 28] Naval Medical Research Institute ;[ 29] Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory ;[ 30] Brooks Air Force Base and The Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine.[ 31]
Other publications they have made electronic that are not currently included in the RRR are some UHMS'sUnderwater Medicine and Related Sciences and theHyperbaric Oxygen Review journal which was published from 1980 to 1985.[ 32] [ 33]
The Rubicon Review was aYahoo! Group with periodic updates of literature in environmental physiology.[ 34] [ 35] [ 34]
B-25 Recovery and Preservation Project [ edit ] TheB-25c Mitchell bomber was ditched on 4 April 1943 and remained 45 metres (148 ft) below the surface ofLake Murray (South Carolina) for 60 years. The recovery effort was headed by Dr.Robert Seigler and supervised byGary Larkins of the Air Pirates.[ 36] History Channel and televised on their showMega Movers .[ 37] Southern Museum of Flight inBirmingham, Alabama .[ 38] [ 39] [ 40] Explorers Club flag number 103.[ 41]
In 2010, Rubicon started Project Pink Tank with a goal to improve the knowledge available tobreast cancer survivors about their engagement in scuba diving.[ 42] [ 43] [ 43]
