More Information
Summary:NOAA's Office of Undersea Research supports numerous and diverse research on living resource assessment, marine pollution, geological processes, substrate or habitat response to external forces, and technology evaluation. This support of marine science is through several mechanisms. The principal being the submersible science programs and a network of Undersea Research Programs at various universities. The submersible science program consists of distinct, but complementary, elements. These include the partial support of the DSRV ALVIN and the leasing of shallow submersibles and remotely operated vehicles. Use of shallow submersible and remotely operated vehicles also is provided through most of the NURP university programs.
