Andrew Barnard, an acoustics engineer from Michigan Tech, watched the sunset and listened to the deepest spot in Lake Superior as part of a chief scientist training with the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). UNOLS is run by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research and maintains all of the US science ship fleet.
The vessels are doing great science in far flung regions like the Antarctic. There’s also a UNOLS vessel, R/V Blue Heron, operating on the Great Lakes out of University of Minnesota Duluth where Barnard did his chief scientist training.Image credit: Dr. Andrew R, Barnard, Michigan Technological University
