Abstract
The 2015 Exploration Vessel Nautilus season spanned six months and two oceans. From the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, this presentation will highlight recent exploration of the Galapagos Rift and Platform and the California Borderland, the development of new cutting edge technologies, and the use of telepresence to further our scientific and educational goals. It will also include information on how students, faculty, and others can become involved in the 2016 Nautilus expedition.
