RESEARCH VESSELS & THE FUTURE OF OCEAN STUDY
The U.S. oceanographic research community depends on a complex network of ships and institutions for scienti? c discovery at sea. The University-National
Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) is the central organization that provides scientists with access to advanced research ships and technology to explore the world’s oceans. We recently spoke with Bruce Applegate, Chair of the UNOLS Council and Associate Director at Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, to explore UNOLS’ operations and future plans.
