Green ER with NMC Great Lakes Water Studies

May 27, Tuesday, 1-4:00 p.m. Green ER is proud to host the NMC Great Lakes Water Studies Institute and their research vessel, the RV Northwestern, a 56-foot 20-passenger coastal survey vessel, which will visit the Edward C. Grace Memorial Harbor on Tuesday, 1-4 p.m.  The Institute and its associated programs give students access to state-of-the-art equipment throughout their coursework.  The staff and vessel will be available to both schools and community members to come down and see the RV Northwestern, learn about some of their research technology, and hear about program opportunities.

A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) deployed from the vessel will be demonstrated live, showcasing its capabilities in real time.  

Additionally, an Unscrewed Surface Vessel (USV) equipped with advanced underwater mapping technology will operate in the harbor, highlighting its use in hydrographic surveying and marine research.  The program director will be joined by four Bachelor of Science in Marine Technology students to discuss the program’s hands-on learning opportunities, cutting-edge equipment, and the wide range of career pathways available to graduates.  greenelkrapids.org
