Log Post: With Bells On!
Mariana looks at the buoy drifting away from R/V Falkor. She has done it countless times before; but as she assists in the deployment of the snifel off of the ship’s aft deck, the familiar anxiety comes back all the same. Designed to measure the speed of the exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere … Continued

As the … Continued

At the time I’m writing this blog post, Research Vessel Falkor has set off from Vietnam and we are now in the middle of the South China Sea. I stood on the top deck this morning as the sun came up and marveled at the utter uniformity of the solid horizon line that completely encircled … Continued
