The science party also got to go through many of the safety drills commonly done when a vessel leaves port.

Hydrography: The Ship, The Storm, and the Grad Student

One of the things that made the Nancy Foster cruise stand out was the range of experience of the science party. This training opportunity allowed undergraduates, graduate students, post docs, and other scientists to all work toward the same goal.
