    Cruise Report C-140A : Sea experience, scientific activities undertaken aboard SSV Corwith Cramer, Woods Hole, MA - Woods Hole, August 8 - 17, 1995
    (SEA Education Association, 1995-08) Joyce, Paul
    This cruise report outlines the scientific research and academic program conducted on board SSV Corwith Cramer during Cruise C-140A. The cruise was designed to introduce teachers to a wide variety of shipboard oceanographic techniques and to provide them with a broad multidisciplinary overview of the marine environment. The SEA Experience program is funded by the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Education and Human Resources, through the Teacher Enhancement Program, with additional funding from the Pew Charitable Trust, the William H. Donner Foundation, and the teacher's school districts. The teachers actively participated in deploying oceanographic gear, in analyzing the samples collected and in compiling and interpreting data. In addition, their understanding and respect for the skills necessary to operate a vessel at sea was greatly enhanced by their roles as crew members on board the Corwith Cramer. Navigating and maneuvering the vessel to each oceanographic station, the teachers steered, worked the sails and determined the vessel's location throughout the cruise. Their practical experience was supplemented by lectures and demonstrations by SEA's staff. During our ten-day cruise, we traveled over 500 nautical miles, collected hourly surface temperature readings and completed several major oceanographic stations, obtaining a variety of samples. This cruise was characterized by the most beautiful weather and sea conditions in memory, perfect for sampling and sailing, despite the threat of Hurricane Felix. I would like to thank the staff and teachers for the tremendous effort they put forth in accomplishing the scientific and educational missions of Cruise C-140A.

    Cruise Report C-103 : scientific activities undertaken aboard SSV Corwith Cramer, St. Thomas - Bequia - Tobago Cays - Bonaire - Roatan - Miami, 1 December 1988 - 11 January 1989
    (SEA Education Association, 1989-01) Joyce, Paul
    This cruise report outlines the scientific research and academic program conducted on board SSV Corwith Cramer during her fourth cruise during the winter of 1988-1989. It consists of the abstracts of the student projects completed during this crulse and the data which are being incorporated into the long-term studies of the SEA staff and associated researchers. The bulk of this report was written at sea and is not intended to represent a final analysis or interpretation of data generated during C-103.

    Cruise Report C-137 : scientific activities undertaken aboard SSV Corwith Cramer, Miami - Little San Salvador - Jamaica - Honduras - Miami, February 7 - March 17, 1995
    (SEA Education Association, 1995-03) Joyce, Paul
    This cruise report outlines the scientific research and academic program conducted on board SSV Corwith Cramer during C-137. It consists of a list of student projects completed during this cruise and data that are being incorporated into long-term studies of the SEA staff and associated researchers. The bulk of this report was written at sea. It is not intended to represent a final analysis or interpretation of data generated during C-137. C-137 was a very successful cruise in every respect. Research operations provided a wealth of rich and varied information. The weather was perfect for sailing and sampling for most of the cruise, with only the last leg proving challenging to staff, students, sails, and ultimately, the engine. We were able to complete a great number of stations during C-137, many using the new Carousel sampling device and a-frame. This equipment is changing the way in which cruises and sampling programs can be planned and conducted by SEA, while retaining the educational value of traditional equipment such as the mechanical bathythermograph.
