Eduardo Cesar<\/span>The oceanographic ship in the Santos port: benefitting researchers from various institutionsEduardo Cesar<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

The oceanographic ship Alpha Crucis was launched on May 30, in a ceremony at the port of Santos (SP). The ship, acquired by FAPESP for the Oceanographic Institute (IO) of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP), will replace the Professor W. Besnard ship. The acquisition of the Alpha Crucis is part of a project submitted by IO-USP to FAPESP to increase research capacity. The uncovering of the inaugural plaque was carried out by Governor Geraldo Alckmin and by the President of USP, Jo\u00e3o Grandino Rodas, along with Celso Lafer, President of FAPESP, Eduardo Moacyr Krieger, Vice-president, Jos\u00e9 Arana Varela, Director President, Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz, Scientific Director, Joaquim Jos\u00e9 de Camargo Engler, Administrative Director and Michel Mahiques, Director of IO-USP. The ship is expected to boost research on issues such as climate change, biodiversity and pre-salt oil exploration (see Pesquisa FAPESP <\/em>issue 195<\/a>). Lafer pointed out that the ship, which will be managed by IO-USP, is available for use by scientists from other institutions. \u201cThis is a big day for Brazilian oceanography,\u201d he said. Rodas emphasized the impact of the acquisition: \u201cResearchers from S\u00e3o Paulo state universities and other Brazilian institutions with important projects will benefit. We are all winners in the acquisition of this new ship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oceanographic ship launched at the port of Santos","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[252],"coauthors":[93],"class_list":["post-16071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-oceanography"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16071\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16071"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=16071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
