Together By TREET

November 26, 2014

As part of the TREET (Transforming Remotely Conducted Research Through Ethnography, Education & Rapidly Evolving Technologies) program, senior scientist Chris German and recent Harvard graduate, Alexandra Stote, connected with a classroom at Duke University led by biologist (and former Alvin pilot) Cindy Van Dover. The TREET program was designed to instruct early career scientists and their undergraduate students on the use of telepresence technology in deep ocean research. Stote used the opportunity to discuss plans for an upcoming biology dive where she directed operations via telepresence from the shore.(Photo by Ken Kostel, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
