Join Ocean Exploration Trust for our 2022 E/V Nautilus expedition as we embark on eight months of scientific exploration in the waters of the Central Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Ocean Exploration Trust will embark on its eighth year of deep-sea scientific exploration in the Pacific Ocean, continuing to work with expedition partners and the wider scientific community to make significant scientific discoveries using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous vehicles, and seafloor mapping technologies. The 2022 Nautilus expedition is sponsored by NOAA Ocean Exploration via the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute, NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, National Geographic Society, and private donors.

New Frontiers in Ocean Exploration: The Ocean Exploration Trust 2022 Field Season is the thirteenth consecutive supplement on ocean exploration to accompany Oceanography. It summarizes work conducted as part of the 2022 field season aboard OET’s Exploration Vessel Nautilus. Since the first Nautilus expeditions in 2009, the vessel has enabled countless discoveries over the world ocean and has served as a platform for testing and deploying innovative ocean technologies. OET has also generously shared their expeditions with worldwide audiences through telepresence. In this year's supplement, read about Nautilus's explorations of some of the most remote and poorly surveyed areas in the Central Pacific, as well as how emerging ocean exploration technologies were successfully integrated and deployed to provide new and more efficient ways to observe the ocean. We hope you enjoy this booklet and share it widely.
