The New Fleet of Ocean Research Vessels (Season 2, Episode 7)


One of the most important tools in oceanography is a research vessel, and so the National Science Foundation has funded completion of three new Regional Class Research Vessels to address the most pressing issues facing the U.S. coast. Join oceanographer and project scientist from Oregon State University, Clare Reimers, National Science Foundation Ship Operations Program Director, Rose Dufour, and the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) chair, Doug Russell for a conversation about how and why we need to keep our fleet up-to-date and why this renewal is important for the future of oceanography.
