Title: Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Network (CAPSTAN)
Period: 2025-03-07 21:00 to 2025-03-16 21:00 UTC
Duration: 9.00 days
From: Hobart To: Hobart
Ship: Investigator (RV) [details]
Description:
The Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Alliance Network (CAPSTAN) is a maritime education and training initiative of CSIRO, the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) and the Australian and New Zealand International Scientific Drilling Consortium (ANZIC). The Program is supported by grants of sea time on RV Investigator from the CSIRO Marine National Facility and through funding from the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
The CAPSTAN platform aims to:
• Develop and provide an effective vessel‐based tertiary education experience involving national stakeholders and post-graduate students, by pooling national tertiary teaching expertise and personnel resources;
• Develop a national curriculum to standardise teaching protocols/methods and learning outcomes in conjunction with the new data collection equipment and facilities of the CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator, the Integrated Marine Observatory System and external stakeholders, and;
• Provide and test a multi‐disciplinary research‐based teaching module for marine science postgraduates with opportunities for student mobility and national network development.
In addition, this multidisciplinary voyage will explore and survey significant marine environments surrounding Tasmania, including the Tasman Fracture Zone, the Bass Canyon, and an East Australian Current (EAC) eddy, to address key gaps in our understanding of these systems.
Additional objectives, time permitting, include a shipwreck survey to investigate its structural and biological significance and a feasibility study in the Gippsland offshore wind area. The latter will involve collecting sediment samples with the Smith-Macintyre grab to assess the suitability of the site for offshore wind development.
