Oceanographic ’telecommuting’.
Mid-atlantic Ridge, off Venezuela—Over 20 years, WHOI geophysicist Debbie Smith has been chief scientist of a research cruise four times, directing and coordinating scientific activities aboard ships. In June, she did it for the first time from her office, as a “virtual” chief scientist. She used a new system called HiSeasNet, which allows high-data ship-to shore communications in real time. On her office computer, Smith received bathymetric, magnetic, and gravity information from R/V Knorr, which she used to guide the ship as it mapped the seafloor in a study of unusual deep-sea earthquakes off South America.
