Since 1971, the US academic research fleet has been managed through the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory Systems (UNOLS), a consortium amongst research institutions, federal agencies, and state and private interests. This report examines how ocean observation technology and rising costs will impact the future of US academic research fleets relative to Navy needs. The report is authored by scientists with expertise in physical, chemical, and biological oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, atmospheric science, ocean engineering, naval architecture, and ship operations. Factors examined include research vessel design, remote sensing approaches, and the benefits of partnering mechanisms like UNOLS to support national oceanographic research objectives. An appendix offers an overview of the history of the US Academic Research Fleet. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
