Where was the R/V Point Lobos?
An Introduction to MBARI's new Expedition and
ROV CTD databases

Expedition Database Development Team*
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute

Friday, November 19, 1999
12:00 Noon—Pacific Forum

This seminar has two parts. In the first part we will demonstrate the new web interface that you can use to interact with Expedition information and data. Specifically, we will show how you can:

- Search the Expedition database and find data and/or images
- Enter pre-cruise plans
- File post-cruise reports
- Enter comments about data quality, etc.

In the second part we will go a little more in-depth and show other ways into our databases, covering SQL, the documentation that is available, and what tools one needs on their own computer to do more advanced queries.
