Explainer: the RV Investigator's role in marine science.

The article discusses the role of Research Vessel (RV) Investigator, an Australian marine RV, in marine science. The RV will help to map the ocean floor to any depth, search for resources, better understand the fisheries, and collect weather data 20-kilometre into the atmosphere. The RV heralds a new era in marine and atmospheric research for Australian scientists and their international collaborators.
