R/V Wecoma - CTD Cruise Part of the
excitement of going to sea is discovering what's going on in the hidden
world below. Last year we left five moorings on the seafloor here to monitor
hydrothermal plumes, and today we'll recover them to see what secrets
they hold. Since we can only visit Axial once a year, we must depend on
instruments to provide information on changing hydrothermal conditions
between cruises.

Jeff: What are your duties as an executive officer on the Ron Brown? George: The executive officer is second in charge out here. It's kind of like vice-president. I oversee all the administration of the ship. Anything from pay to benefits, orders, travel, or human resources issues. I work directly with the chiefs of the departments and oversee the officers and junior officers on board about personnel issues, fitness reports and leave. Traditionally the captain and the executive officer stay separate from the daily watch standing duties but in modern times we operate on a minimum manning staffing. So, the captain and I both stand watch. That's fun because it keeps your hands in the daily events. Otherwise you get tied up with paperwork and lose track of the ship's operations. More... |
