In 2024, University of Washington School of Oceanography and Marine Biology students (Victoria DeJong, Morrigan Havely, and Julie Wiener) collected video to describe what its like to be on a global class research ship during NSF’s Ocean Observatories Initiative Regional Cabled Array operations and maintenance cruises. This was produced as part of the Ocean 411 class held each fall. Credit: University of Washington, VISIONS’24.
