Marcus G. Langseth Maps the World’s Oceans
June 28, 2024
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory's Marcus G. Langseth research vessel is one of just five capable of long-duration missions in extreme environments on Earth's oceans and serves as the national marine seismic facility in the U.S. On its month-long transit from South Africa to New York this spring, the Langseth mapped 150,000+ square kilometers of never-before-mapped ocean floor before docking at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for maintenance and resupplying.
