Schmidt Ocean Institute Advances R/V Falkor (too)’s Mapping Capabilities

;June 28) in Talcahuano, Chile, the team reconstructed the bow of R/V Falkor (too), transforming it from a bulbous bow more common on offshore commercial vessels into a streamlined, V-shaped bow optimized for science missions. The new bow improves the precision and reliability of the ship’s sonar systems in capturing high-quality mapping data, even in challenging weather conditions. It can now capture high-resolution data in 6-11 knots (~7-13 mph) and in swells exceeding three meters.R/V Falkor (too)’s new bow helps to eliminate bubbles from interfering with the ship’s sonars and
