U.S. Academic Research Fleet Improvement Plan 2019 Update
U.S. Academic Research Fleet Improvement Plan 2019 Update Report of the UNOLS Fleet Improvement Committee U.S. Academic Research Fleet Improvement Plan U.S. Academic Research Fleet Improvement Plan 2019 Report of the UNOLS Fleet Improvement Committee Members: James Austin, University of Texas, Austin Joan Bernhard, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Byron Blomquist, University of Colorado, Boulder Suzanne Carbotte, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Greg Cutter, Old Dominion University Annette DeSilva, UNOLS Office Alice Doyle, UNOLS office Rick Keil, University of Washington Stephen Zoltan Kelety, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Nancy Rabalais, Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium Ethan Roth, University of Alaska Fairbanks James Swift, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Chair) Executive Summary The US academic research fleet (ARF) includes research vessels, deep submergence vehicles, aircraft and pools of specialized equipment for technically-advanced multidisciplinary research and educational activities in the ocean sciences. This infrastructure is critical to nearly every major US science undertaking at sea, making possible the collection and processing of data and samples from the marine atmosphere, the water column, the seafloor, and the sub-seafloor. Planning with respect to the composition and capabilities of this fleet has been an on-going process through the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) for over four decades. UNOLS planning guides the nation’s fleet modernization and reconfiguration, helping -
