🧪 #RVEndeavor, operated by #URIGSO & now at sea, is celebrating 49 yrs in service to the US Science community! I believe it is the longest serving ship in the US academic research fleet (managed by #UNOLS for #NSF). Kudos to the officers, crew, techs, & scientists who uphold this mission daily! 🌊

Looking back, a Senior Research Thesis survey which occurred over the student’s winter break of 2005-2006.
