Multi-voyage projects

The Marine National Facility supports multi-year and multi-voyage projects on RV Investigator.

Multi-voyage projects support long time series marine research programs, capturing wider temporal and spatial data sets that allow more complete understanding and comparative analysis of our marine environment. Multi-voyage projects may be completed within a single year or span multiple years.

For information about applying for access to RV Investigator for multi-voyage projects, visit Applying for sea time.
