The Research Vessel Technical Enhancement Committee Listserv is a forum for marine technicians to discuss and share information on instrumentation, equipment, tools, procedures, etc. used to support science operations on oceanographic research vessels. The UNOLS Office archives these discussions as an informational resource for the UNOLS Marine Technician community.
Since February 2015, the emails of the RVTEC listserv have been archived in a RVTEC Google Group for easier archiving and searching capabilities. This group is private so please contact the UNOLS Office if you would like to access. You must currently be on the RVTEC listserv to view the archive.
