Maps and other visualizations of scientific study are artifacts of a particular perspective and cultural context. What they include, what they omit, and the technologies they utilize are often what distinguishes them as a part of particular conversation. These same traits can exclude the underlying information or story from being integrated into other human narratives. … Continued

After forty-five hours of travel, I touch down in Apia, Samoa. A day on land to gain my bearings, then straight on to the wharf. After winding my way through a land of shipping containers, I see her, the Falkor, my new home and community. She will take me on a voyage I only day-dreamed … Continued
Greetings from the South Pacific! My name is Sally Jarmusz, and I am very fortunate to be one of two Student Opportunity Participants on board the R/V Falkor for the December 2017 – January 2018 transcruise (transit + research cruise). I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in mapping the eastern part of the Ellice … Continued
I am drawn to the ocean: by its beauty, its merciless nature, its capacity to provide food and habitat and to sustain economies, its role in our climate, and the special place it holds in cultures across the globe. The oceans connects life. Hello from R/V Falkor! My name is Cherie Colyer-Morris and I am … Continued
