Dr. Amy Waterhouse, chief scientist on the T-Beam cruise, is a physical oceanographer working at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She joined Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 2011 as a post-doctoral researcher, working with Dr. Jennifer MacKinnon as part of the Climate Process Team assembled to further understand global patterns of mixing due to internal … Continued
Options are narrowing and a winner may be in sight You might be wondering how our Hydrothermal Hunt is going – and perhaps more importantly – you might be wondering how you are doing in our betting pool. (You have made a guess as to where we’ll find the biggest hydrothermal plume, right?) A recap: … Continued
Team Iron takes you into the most exclusive (science) room on the ship. We like to throw things in the ocean We drop the trace metal rosette down daily to collect water to measure trace metals in the upper waters of the ocean. It is easy to see why she is the most fashionable piece of … Continued
Do shallow arc volcanoes supply iron to phytoplankton in the open ocean? Scientific research on a moving ship is a real challenge. We have to perform precise sampling and chemical analyses, all while adapting to a rolling ship. On this expedition, we are using two separate and specialized CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) systems – one … Continued
