Howdy! My name is Brandyn Lucca, and I am a graduate student at Stony Brook University. This will be my fifth ADEON cruise, and third aboard the R/V Neil Armstrong, studying how underwater sound bounces and scatters off of individual critters in the ocean. This involves everything from running experiments aboard the boat, measuring the acoustic signature of animals in an aquarium, to simply taking photos of each specimen we catch to collect information on body length and shape.
