Schmidt Ocean Institute (which owns/operates Falcor (too)) is an awesome nonprofit supporting a lot of really fascinating and impactful oceanographic and environmental research. One of my favorite oceanography documentarians, Leo Richards, produced a truly beautiful video for Schmidt Ocean Institute and put it up on his YouTube channel, Natural World Facts, which I highly recommend for anyone with an interest in the ocean or scientific research in general:
