Numerous in Labs
|
Bioanalytical Lab with precision temperature control. Refrigerator and
freezer walk-in chambers for sample storage/preparation. Use of isotopes
is prohibited in ship's laboratories. Isotope isolation vans are available
by request. Other equipment and technical services available on
cruise-specific basis.
Vans: Numerous van placement locations on main deck, 01 level port
side and forward on 02 deck.
Communications: INMARSAT satellite voice and data, VHF, HF radio and
SSB voice.
E-mail:
All users are responsible for the cost of E-mail traffic both to and from
the ship. Science party members (and crew) are allotted a $1/day allowance
for E-mail expenses. Costs in excess of this allowance will be collected
from users at the completion of each cruise.
