Northern site completed, headed South
We successfully completed our occupation of the subantarctic SOLACE site late on Sunday 20 December and are currently headed south-west towards a diatom-dominated polar site to commence our southern occupation.
Pas de deux in the oceans’ Twilight Zone
In the last few days there has been little time to post any blogs on the SOLACE www site as most groups on board RV Investigator have been busy processing samples from midwater nets, bio-optics, deep water cameras, zooplankton nets, sediment traps, particle interceptors, and/or running experiments.
Sediment traps deployed to measure biological carbon uptake
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.
