VI-EPSCoR 2006-07 Seminar Series Due to the Explorer of the Seas visiting scientists, VI-EPSCoR will continue its seminar series through the summer months in order to continue to provide a venue for researchers to share their work with the community. The Explorer of the Seas cruise ship is equipped with a high-tech atmospheric and an oceanographic laboratory and is helping scientists to discover answers to some of the most challenging questions in ocean and climate research. The ship exemplifies an “unprecedented collaboration to use state-of-the-art technology to study the ocean and atmosphere and to provide an exciting new venue to increase the public's awareness and understanding of our planet”. Royal Caribbean International and the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science are the partners behind this exciting endeavor.
