The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a $1,397,646 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to purchase oceanographic instrumentation for use aboard the R/V Sikuliaq. The instrumentation, including a Kongsberg EM304 Mark II multibeam echosounder, will be operated on a shared-use basis by the UAF/Sikuliaq Oceanographic Technical Services Group to support NSF-funded scientists' research requiring use of seagoing facilities. Acquisition and maintenance of this shared-use instrumentation will allow more researchers affordable access to calibrated instruments, expanding the pool of potential investigators. The award period is from December 15, 2022 through November 30, 2024.
