Major field expeditions
Two transatlantic crossings in 100 ft schooner Westward, 1972, including field work on
marine fish in Barbados, Azores Islands, Canary Islands, Madeira, and Cape Verde
Islands.
1978-1979, Field work in the waters surrounding Kodiak Island, 3 expeditions each one
month long.

in residence and 7 expeditions in the NOAA Hydrolab in Salt River Canyon, St. Croix.
