Dennis Hansell, a professor at the University of Miami, is what we call the Chief Scientist for this expedition. That is the person that talks to the Captain of the ship and plans where to go, when to stop, how to deploy the rosette for getting water for ALL the scientists on board. If anything goes wrong with the science experiments, the Chief Scientist is the one that works it out with the ship Captain and Crew. It is a big job to coordinate all the science activities that happen of a big ship like the Melville. Dennis has been doing a great job. We are getting everything done and on schedule for a safe return to Seattle. You can tell the cruise is going really well.... just look at the smile of Dr. Hansell's face!!!
