Middlebury professor student crew convert boat for lake study
Middlebury College geology assistant professor Dr. David W. Folger and volunteer oceanography students spent two weeks repairing a 25 foot Coast Guard motor surf boat for Lake Champlain research. They sourced the surplus vessel in Portland Maine and will christen it September 28 at Old Chapel before launching. The craft will carry 15 students and be fitted with booms and echo sounder for core sampling and seismic work. The program will train students in oceanographic methods and support data collection for papers on turbidity climate history and marine invasions. An expedition with University of Vermont and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will test seismic methods on the lake and a freshwater test of an echo sounder will occur.
