LLO Science on Deck

Scientists and staff of the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Large Lakes Observatory invite the community to board and tour the Blue Heron research vessel on the Duluth Harbor behind the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. The Science on Deck event is free and runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Tours are provided by scientists, crew and students to provide an overview of the R/V Blue Heron’s layout and research capabilities.

At 1:30 p.m. the LLO’s Dr. Ted Ozersky gives a presentation titled “What Lakes Do in Winter.”

The Blue Heron is part of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System and is chartered by research scientists to explore any of the Great Lakes. For more info visit scse.d.umn.edu.
