PML marine biologist Dr @SaskiaRuehl is in the North Atlantic as part of the BIO-Carbon #JC269 expedition. She's studying "marine snow" (made up of organic detritus) and its role in the #carbon cycle. Thanks to Arianwen Z Herbert for the action shots #marinebiology #expedition


CTD deployment: a story in four parts. On #JC269 we deploy 2 CTDs on station days. They contain sensors which transmit real-time data as they descend a km below the surface, and bring back water samples for analysis of biological matter and abiotic factors 🌊🦠🔬 BIO-Carbon




We are on Instagram! 📷 Follow the journey of Arianwen Z Herbert on our #JC269 expedition and meet our scientists🔬instagram.com/biocarbon_nerc/

An absolutely breathtaking royal escort for the RRS James Cook on expedition #JC269 today🐬 Without a doubt one of the most stunning things I have ever witnessed. Feeling grateful to be an oceanographer today 🌊 BIO-Carbon #dolphins #marinebiology

A bleary-eyed 5am good luck to the final deployment of #JC269 🤩 Autonomy is a big focus of BIO-Carbon, with floats and gliders allowing for longer time series' than expeditions alone ⛵️ Looking forward to the data this one will send home! Flavien Petit National Oceanography Centre LABO LOV


Check out this New Scientist video featuring BIO-Carbon science! 🔬 Heather Bouman from University of Oxford is part of our IDAPro project, which is improving understanding of the productivity of #phytoplankton. 🌊newscientist.com/video/2459230-…

Lovely to have our last @ExeterMarine Exeter Biosciences HSE theme seminar. Josephine Tod tells us tales from the BIO-Carbon North Atlantic cruise Gary Codling shares what the Centre for Resilience in Environment Water & Waste building is all about


What a year 2024 has been for BIO-Carbon science!🔬 Check out this brilliant video of our autumn expedition filmed by Arianwen Z Herbert - you may see some familiar faces. youtu.be/h2xzkCHfVzs?si… Heriot-Watt University University of Southampton National Oceanography Centre University of Exeter Plymouth Marine Lab Natural Environment Research Council

If anyone is in need of some light twixmas watching - another piece out in New Scientist from my time on BIO-Carbon JC269 🌊 Diving into the world of zooplankton and their role in carbon storage with the team from University of Exeter @ExeterMarine newscientist.com/video/2461986-…
