Deployment: KOK1108

2011-06-04 - 2011-06-19 Platform:R/V Ka`imikai-O-Kanaloa (vessel)

Description

The purpose of the 16 day KOK1108 cruise aboard the University of Hawaii research vessel Ka'imikai-o-Kanaloa was to study the fate of radiation released into the ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that was badly damaged by a tsunami on March 11, 2011.
