Don Koelsch (left) and other WHOI engineers and seismologists with the Near Ocean Bottom Explosives Launcher (NOBEL) system on the fantail of research vessel Atlantis II in 1991. On this cruise, they deployed the NOBEL system along the East Pacific Rise to gain understanding of how new crust forms on the seafloor. Also pictured (l to r, from Koelsch): MIT graduate student John Olson, WHOI research assistant Rob Handy, University of Hawaii scientist Gerard Fryer, and WHOI research associates Jim Broda and Beecher Wooding.
