19 Sep-97 In September, 1997, this two-leg cruise went to the RIDGE observatory site on the Endeavor segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge on the RV Atlantis with the manned submersible ALVIN and the ROV JASON. The first leg was supported through the National Science Foundation RIDGE program and the NOAA West Coast National Undersea Research Program, and second leg by the State of Washington (Dr. John Delaney PI). A NOVA camera crew and producer were also aboard to document the cruise. Four members of our group (and four close collaborators from other institutions) participated in each leg of this cruise. We monitored our established growth stations, downloaded the data from the thermistor arrays we had in place and redeployed them. We also established several new growth stations and collected samples for studies of molecular ecology and nutritional interactions. Additionally, this cruise once again hosted the REVEL program, a very exciting new outreach program for secondary school science teachers.
