Cruise Report W-42 : scientific activities undertaken aboard R/V Westward, Woods Hole - St. Thomas, October 11 - November 22, 1978

Abstract

This report presents an outline of the scientific activities and observations conducted aboard the R/V Westward during W-42. These activities fall into two categories: an academic program offered in more or less traditional format, but on board ship; and research and project work conducted on a more individual basis. Most of this report consists of abstracts from the students' Shipboard Reports which outline individual projects and give a first assessment of the results. The staff has also taken this opportunity to enlarge upon or interrelate aspects of our activities which may have seemed unclear during the cruise.
