The students shadowed National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists and technicians while they conducted a survey of the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration technician helps Stockton University students Lora Panepinto, of Staten Island, New York, and Hannah Elliott, of Bridgewater, measure conductivity, temperature and depth of the ocean water off the side of the NOAA vessel Nancy Foster during their week-long cruise in July.
Stockton was one of only six schools in the country invited by NOAA to send students, the university said. They lived and worked with the crew last month as it mapped the Atlantic Ocean floor 1,500 feet below on an 186-foot research vessel off the coast of South Carolina.
