Introducing Research Vessel Marcus G. Langseth

A New Era in Ocean Exploration: Introducing Research Vessel Marcus G. Langseth

Oceans cover about three quarters of the Earth's surface.  Although much has been learned about the seafloor and sub-floor in recent decades, much remains to be explored.  The panel will describe a wide range of ship operations and scientific investigations of Lamont's newest ocean-going research vessel, the 235-foot Marcus G. Langseth.
