Fearless Team Begins Ocean Decade in Tropical Atlantic -- in Masks
The Fearless Team begins 2021 and a 40-day research cruise in the Tropical Atlantic and the US Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The Fearless team begins January 2021 and DOE ARPA-E Phase 2 research under Covid quarantine and testing to ensure safety of the team. As the team boarded the research vessel in masks, the team loaded supplies to conduct experiments and live for the next 40 days in open water as far as West Africa. The vessel would not go to land because of Covid restrictions. The research vessel’s mission is to continue longterm data sets on ocean chemistry and currents through the Argo array and fixed PIRATA buoys.
DOE ARPA-E Awards Phase 2 to Fearless Fund September 2020
DOE ARPA-E MARINER awards Phase 2 funding to the Fearless team. Phase 2 integrates engineering tasks and examines techno-economic aspects of open ocean farming of macroalgae at energy scale. Joining the team are Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) and Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL). DOE expands funding to $1,840,836.
