So much of our deep ocean remains a mystery - we know more about the moon than we do about our deepest oceans.

The Marine National Facility’s research vessel Investigator enables researchers to head out into the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans to:

  • Undertake deep sea oceanography
  • Map and study the geology of Australia’s marine estate to underpin resource exploration
  • Monitor and better understand our fisheries
  • Learn more about our weather patterns and large ocean processes.
