Science is a process of discovery. There is so much about the world that we do not know; discoveries can be made just about anywhere. Some scientists never have to leave the comforts of their own laboratory as their study subjects may be locally distributed, or they can access information from satellites and other data … Continued
And just like that, three weeks has come to an end. As the science team starts to pack up their equipment and explore the data collected, they get their first taste of the water profiles for this region. It seems like just yesterday we were leaving Majuro, Marshall Islands, to begin an 11-day time-series at the equator, but the time has gone by in the blink of an eye.

In September of 2024, Artist-at-Sea Jill Pelto joined the Fire & Ice: Volcanic & Glacial Interaction expedition led by Dr. Sebastian Watt, University of Birmingham, UK. Pelto is an artist and science communicator based in Washington. She was intrigued by the opportunity to study the underwater effects of a 2008 volcanic eruption that dramatically transformed the landscape and lives of the people of Chaitén, Chile.
2025 – The Southern Atlantic In 2025, our scientific expeditions take us further into the Southern Atlantic Ocean, one of the least explored places on Earth. Scientists from all over the world will document biodiversity, study hazards such as earthquakes and volcanoes, and map seafloor features. Who knows what they will find? Follow our journey … Continued
