SEA Semester is a study-abroad programme operated in conjunction with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute that offers students the chance to combine an academic challenge with the adventure of an extended research cruise under sail. The 25 March to 2 May, 2005, SEA cruise of SSV Robert C. Seamans departed from Honolulu, Hawaii, sailed south through Palmyra Atoll and the Line Islands (Kiribati) before returning, 5 weeks later, to Honolulu. A wide range of physical, chemical and biological variables were measured during the cruise.
The report gives details and preliminary findings of a scientific cruise undertaken on R/V Melville in 2006 within the Lau Basin of Fiji as part of the Ridge 2000 programme. The cruise involved biological, geological, and chemical studies of hydrothermal systems in the Lau Basin and multibeam mapping of the sea floor.
