A test deployment of our profiling lagrangian acoustic optical system (PLAOS), has revealed some of the treasures which lurk below the ocean’s surface.

The centrepiece of the SOLACE voyage – a suite of seven repeat 3.5 day sampling cycles – commenced on 9 December with the deployment of an upper ocean mooring.

Transporting carbon: Why micronekton are important Bree WoodsPhD Student The deep ocean is the largest habitat on earth and despite harsh environmental conditions, is full of life. The animals that live here are adapted to high pressure, low temperatures, and little-to-no sunlight. Such animals, which are collectively named micronekton, include fishes, squids and hard-bodied organisms

Welcome aboard SOLACE The Southern Ocean Large Areal Carbon Export (SOLACE) voyage has the following objectives. Improve water column measurement of the downward export flux of carbon of the biological pump using an integrated suite of new technological advances – from particle decomposition to mesopelagic vertical migrations. Integrate these improved estimates of the functioning of
