2027 At-sea opportunity

US GO-SHIP (https://usgoship.ucsd.edu and http://www.go-ship.org) is looking for students to participate in an upcoming re-occupation of a central Pacific meridional hydrographic transect. We will be sailing aboard the University of Washington R/V Thomas G. Thompson.The cruise is divided into two legs.

The first/southern leg (P16S) occupies a line along ~150°W from the ice-edge to ~15°S (New Zealand to Tahiti). P16S will take place between January and March 2027 with ~7.5 weeks at sea.

The second/central leg (P16C) continues from where first left off, shifts to ~152°W as it crosses the equator, and runs to ~25°N (Tahiti to Hawaii). This leg will take place between March and April 2027 with ~5 weeks at sea.

There are 12 positions available (6 for each leg). Please find more information about this opportunity including details on the available positions and how to apply in the full advertisement here.
