Ship Operations for the R/V F.G. Walton Smith

在迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院(RSMAS)，船舶作业在该学院的外联和教育任务中发挥着至关重要的作用。学校致力于在地区、国家和国际范围内改善学生和成人的科学和环境文学。RSMAS拥有并运营R/V F·G·沃尔顿·史密斯，一艘铝制船体双体船。该船自2000年12月以来一直在服役，并在支持各种海洋科学任务方面发挥了作用。她具有在较深吃水船只无法到达的浅海水域作业的独特能力，因此是学术研究舰队的重要资产。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Ship operations play a vital role at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) with respect to the School's outreach and education missions. The School is committed to improving scientific and environmental literary among students and adults regionally, nationally, and internationally. RSMAS owns and operates R/V F. G. Walton Smith, an aluminum hull catamaran. The vessel has been service since December, 2000, and has performed will in supporting a variety of marine scientific missions. She has the unique capability of operating in shallow coastal waters which are inaccessible to deeper draft vessels, and as such represents an important asset in the Academic Research Fleet.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
