The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,590,739 Cooperative Agreement to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to provide oceanographic technical services for the R/V Marcus G. Langseth, which is operated as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. Under this 5-year award, Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory will deploy shipboard technicians to maintain, calibrate, and provide access to shared-use research instrumentation on the vessel. This infrastructure support enables NSF-funded researchers across U.S. universities and labs to conduct oceanographic research projects, reducing the costs of acquiring and operating specialized equipment. The award aligns with the NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, which aims to expand scientific knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system.
