Research Cruises
Members of the Kiel Reese lab have participated in or led more than 20 oceanographic research expeditions, totaling more than a year at sea. We have used remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and the human-occupied vehicle (HOV) Alvin in our research. We have taken samples at depths of 125m below seafloor. Geographically, our work has taken place in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern oceans, the Baltic Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.
