The RV Dr Fridtjof Nansen in the Western Indian Ocean: voyages of marine research and capacity development. [1975-2016]
Marine scientists and oceanographers from many countries have cooperated on research in the Indian Ocean since the end of the 1950s. This collaboration stemmed from the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE), which evolved into a major international venture, attracting roughly 40 research vess...
