The ABE lab on board RV Atlantis, with Dana Yoerger and Al Duester at the controls. Other ABE Group members on board this cruise are Rod Catanach and Cindy Sellers. This is where ABE is programmed before diving, monitored as it dives, and downloaded once it arrives back on board. The data ABE brings back is analyzed here as well, as a first step toward creating the high-resolution maps that will aid further research. The toolboxes visible here are just part of the backup; everything from spare parts to an entire spare computer live in this lab.
