R/V Knorr Expeditions

The R/V Knorr is a research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, used for scientific oceanographic expeditions. These voyages explore key aspects of marine environments, such as ocean chemistry, biology, and climate-related processes. Researchers onboard collect data and samples from the ocean to improve our understanding of how oceans function and their role in Earth's climate system. The ship’s advanced instruments and crew support a wide range of scientific studies, often contributing to global efforts to address environmental challenges like climate change and ocean health.
