Ship Operations- R/V Marcus G. Langseth

Lanseth为美国学术界提供多道地震MCS能力，在过去十年中，Langseth在世界各地的海洋中工作。 Langseth的独特能力使2D和3D MCS实验都成为可能，这些实验需要多个水听器阵列和线性声源气枪阵列。 结合携带大量海底地震仪用于折射地震学的能力，这种独特的成像能力使NSF资助的科学家能够研究广泛的海洋地球科学问题。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Lanseth provides the US academic community multi-channel seismic MCS capability, and over the last decade Langseth has worked throughout the world's oceans. The unique capabilities of Langseth have enabled both 2D and 3D MCS experiments that required multiple hydrophone arrays and linear sound source airgun arrays. Combined with the ability to carry large numbers of ocean-bottom seismometers for refraction seismology, this unique imaging capability has permitted NSF-sponsored scientists to study a wide range of marine Earth science problems.R/V Langseth supports NSF work that has been peer-reviewed. This first year annual report has gone to external panel.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.
