Assessment
As the NOAA Ocean Exploration's operations onboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer are constantly
evolving, the evaluation of your experience as part of the telepresence-enabled team (ship and
shore) is essential to how we move forward and operate in the future. With each topic, please
consider what you thought went well and what may have been challenging, and please feel free to
provide suggestions for future operations. Individual assessments will be included in a
comprehensive assessment of the expedition and help guide operations for the next field season.
Anonymity
This form does not collect email addresses and the responses are only accessible by Kasey
Cantwell, the Operations Chief who oversees EX operations. All questions are optional, including
providing your name and affiliation. If you have a specific experience that you'd like to discuss
further, please reach out to Kasey Cantwell (kasey.cantwell@noaa.gov).

Please provide any comments about how we could improve our sampling
operations.
We are interested in feedback on our sampling operations. Are there additional tools for
sampling that would be useful to help initial characterization of an area? Are there ways
that we can replace the need for a physical sample with a sensor or digital data? Please be
aware there are physical and staffing limitations with our operations that we cannot change
including few onboard scientists and limited physical space and facilities to process and
store samples.
