The Schmidt Ocean Institute is inviting NOSB ORCA BOWL students to participate in a live ship-to-shore event during this expedition. You will take a virtual tour of this state-of the-art research vessel, explore the research equipment used – including Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Sentry, and learn about the science being conducted. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the expedition team, which includes researchers from the University of Washington, Oregon State University, and NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Lab.
