Crew rotations of up to ten people work in cramped, close quarters on a Spartan-like, purpose built vessel – Argo is NOT a yacht! Institutional researchers and students can join the vessel for a period of time for at sea field work. Space is available to transport, deploy and operate researcher’s equipment; collect and store field samples.
