Log Post: It’s Getting Hot in Here, Let’s Mix it Up!
Last week, the great dark turquoise waves rolling past the ship in the dark looked impressive, at 15 feet tall or more, but they are nothing compared to their giant cousins below.
Log Post: A Steep Slope
The continental shelf of Tasmania is pretty steep.
Log Post: Beginning a Research Career
For new comers to science, it is important that they begin their journey in some particular way.
Log Post: The Climes They Are a Changin’
Having collected another set of data from our familiar C2 site, we are now steaming to a location a bit south of the A1 mooring.

Log Post: Taking the Ocean’s Temperature
If you’ve been paying any attention at all to the news in the last, say, two decades, you will know that the temperature of the ocean is increasing.
Log Post: Chlorophyll is Key to the Biological Oceanographer
This week Pete and I started doing our experiments with water collected from the CTD profiles.
