RV Investigator

The RV Investigator is a large research vessel designed for scientific exploration at sea. It allows scientists to study the ocean’s physical, chemical, and biological properties by providing advanced equipment and laboratories on board. The vessel can operate in deep and remote ocean areas, collecting data, water samples, and biological specimens to better understand phenomena like climate change, marine ecosystems, and ocean circulation. Its mobility and capabilities enable researchers to conduct long-term, detailed investigations that improve our knowledge of the world’s oceans, which are vital for Earth's health and climate stability.
