This is a past event.

The Marine Research Assets Facility (MRAF) will host a facility forum from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm on Friday, February 21st at the Great Lakes Research Center. University researchers are encouraged to attend.

Join MRAF staff and other researchers from across campus for lunch and brief presentations illustrating how the facility, its staff, and extensive catalog of marine assets is supporting their research. Take this opportunity to share your needs and challenges with our staff to help steer and prioritize future acquisitions and expand our support capabilities.

MRAF technical staff will be available to discuss how they can help researchers with: project scoping, proposal development, budget estimates, field efforts, data analysis, and reporting. Afterwards, tour the MRAF facilities, including:
 

• Marine Engineering Laboratory
• Boathouse and collection of research and survey vessels
• Autonomous underwater and surface vehicles (AUV/ASV)
• Remotely operated vehicles (ROV)
• Side-scan sonar systems
