# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FREE Webinar | Seafloor science on the RV Investigator
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 18 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 am – Tue, 18 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 am
- **Event Description**: To celebrate National Science Week 2026, learn about seafloor science and connect with real CSIRO scientists onboard the Research Vessel (RV) Investigator as they explore the seafloor of the southern Great Barrier Reef. 

Shaped by over 20,000 years of sea-level change, the region holds ecological, geological and cultural stories - from submerged river valleys to reef systems formed as seas flooded the continental shelf.

Through mapping and sampling the seabed, this research will provide culturally important insight into the marine landscapes in Darumbal and Woppaburra Sea Country and improve understanding of how conditions have changed over time. 

This webinar will be in the final week of the voyage; the perfect time to hear from the science team, learn about the expedition highlights and what it is like to live and work on a research vessel on the Great Barrier Reef.
