Cruise Report W-50 : scientific activities undertaken aboard the R/V Westward, Miami - Miami, 6 February 1980 - 19 March 1980

Abstract

The purpose of this Cruise Report is to present a brief outline of the scientific activities completed aboard R/V Westward during W-50. Reports of the status of ongoing projects and of the traditional academic program are included, as well as abstracts from the research projects of the students. The report was composed at sea, and does not represent a detailed interpretation of the data. The limitations of the lack of library facilities and restricted time are clearly reflected in the contents. However, I feel that it is important for the students to be responsible for the completion of their projects while at sea, including writing up a report. The abstracts of these constitute the bulk of this report.
