MORI IDD: Recent Achievements, Results from Scientific Cruises, and Looking Forward 

Modular Ocean Research Infrastructures Initiation Design and Demonstration (MORI IDD) Project: Recent Achievements, Results from Scientific Cruises, and Looking Forward
Since its inception in the spring of 2021, the MORI IDD project has acquired a broad suite of modular ocean research equipment, mobilized the components in various configurations onboard the Atlantic Condor (Atlantic Towing Ltd.) and supported a total of five unique ocean research cruises. This session during MEOPAR's 2022 Annual Network Meeting provided an overview of the MORI IDD project from a logistics perspective, as well as insights from Chief Scientists about the work accomplished during their scientific missions. Come listen to the scientific work done so far and what is coming next as part of this exciting initiative!
