NSF selects OSU to lead project rejuvenating US research fleet

y in place in the rugged Pacific Ocean. That is a benefit for launching and retrieving gliders and other autonomous or remotely operated vehicles, conducting precise seafloor mapping, and retrieving moorings and other instrumentation. They also will be much quieter, which will help researchers who use acoustics to study everything from endangered whales to undersea earthquakes and volcanoes.

Reimers said the first phase of the 10-year project will begin in early 2013 with the finalization of the vessel design. A concept design is already in place and the OSU project team will partner with two regional firms The Glosten Associates in Seattle, Wash., and Science Applications International Corporation in Oregon City to meet naval architecture, marine design and systems engineering requirements.

"These new vessels will allow scientists at sea to conduct state-of-the-art scientific research from the atmosphere above into the seafloor below our coastal oceans," Reimers said. "Broader impacts will also be possible because these ships will be equipped with modern telecommunications technologies and sensors to be able to transmit a rich variety of observations to scientists, educators and the public ashore."

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) praised the project and selection of OSU.

"These research ships will keep the United States in the forefront of coastal ocean science," Wyden said. "The selection of Oregon State University to design these vessels represents an important investment in our nation's research infrastructure and adds to the state's already-growing reputation as a center for marine research and the place that will train the next generation of ocean scientists."

Fellow Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) described the announcement as "great news for both Oregon State University and the state of Oregon."

"Oregon State is on the cutting edge for marine research and it is only fitting that they have received the honor
