CCOM Sails on the Nancy Foster

A number of CCOM researchers and students are joining the crew of the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster this summer to survey the Blake Plateau. Master's student Elias Adediran recently completed the first leg of the survey and documented his time as a mapping watchstander with some great photos.
