Sealog-FKt

R/V Falkor (too)

Overview

Sealog for R/V Falkor (too) is the event logger used for underway systems, deployments, and general events during the expedition. The Marine Technicians on your cruise log all the core scientific events for the ship’s systems. With each event, shipboard metadata/auxdata is included in the event information. Scientists are able to utilize Sealog-FKt by configuring events to their scientific needs. If science parties would like to log a certain event into our system that isn’t related to ROV SuBastian, Sealog-FKt is the place to do it.
