The University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) of the
University of Delaware announces that a Chief Scientist Training Cruise
will take place 17-23 November 2015. Focused on robotic and autonomous
platforms, this cruise and a pre-cruise information workshop will begin
and end in Lewes, Delaware.
The use of robotic and autonomous system aboard UNOLS vessels is
increasing. In addition to traditional shipboard operations, these
systems require additional consideration in mission planning,
deployment, monitoring, recovery, and communications. Along with
providing background on planning shipboard field work, how to request
research vessel time, and mechanics of leading a research cruise, the
2015 UNOLS Robotic Platforms Chief Scientist Training Cruise, sponsored
by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research,
will focus attention on integration of robotic platforms (i.e. ROV, AUV,
UAV) into the training cruise.
Small stipends are provided for participant travel costs, research
supplies, and shipping. Space is limited. Applicants must be an employee
or student (U.S. citizen) at a U.S. institution or a U.S. citizen
working abroad.
Application deadline: 14 September 2015.
