Okeanos Explorer (EX1004L2): INDEX - Indonesia-USA Deep-Sea Exploration of the Sangihe Talaud Region
Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer; Expedition Dates: June 24 - July 14, 2010
Project Principals: Jeremy Potter, NOAA/OAR/OER (Expedition Coordinator); Mashkoor Malik, NOAA/OAR/OER (Mapping Lead)
Follow the maiden voyage of the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer, as an international team led by scientists from the United States and Indonesia participated in a collaborative mission to explore the depths of Indonesian waters. The use of telepresence allowed for scientists in the United States to participate remotely. The Indonesia-USA Deep-Sea Exploration of the Sangihe Talaud Region (INDEX-SATAL 2010) expedition kicked off a new era of scientific cooperation between the United States and Indonesia. The joint-expedition also advanced the approach called for by President Obama in his landmark June 2009 speech at Cairo University. This partnership is just one of several initiatives that directly support a recently developed Science and Technology agreement between the two ocean Nations.
