Marine Large Programs (MLP)

From research expeditions aboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth to seafloor mapping to ship-based experiences for students and more, Marine/Large Programs (MLP) marine geoscientists and experts are seafaring explorers committed to making high-quality data widely accessible to scientists and the public. MLP investigators also manage the participation of U.S.-based marine scientists in a longstanding international program of scientific ocean drilling that continues to advance knowledge of climate history, geohazards, limits of life, and other topics of important societal relevance.
