Glider 'Doombar' recovered after a successful 4.5 month mission off Namibia from the COMICS project cruise. Go team GOCART! @StephAHenson Nathan Briggs @_Pipa_Carvalho National Oceanography Centre

Today we said thank you to Candice, one of our scientific engineers, as she nears the end of her last cruise. Sad to be saying goodbye to a CTD tech extraordinaire! National Oceanography Centre #COMICS_Carbon

Last event of #COMICS_Carbon cruise - Marine Snow Catcher number 167! Heading back to Cape Town with a fantastic dataset on the biological carbon pump National Oceanography Centre @_Pipa_Carvalho

Cleaning glider ‘Doombar’ before packing it away. Goose barnacles quickly attach themselves and don’t like to let go! COMICS project @StephAHenson National Oceanography Centre

Time to start packing up our gear and heading home at the end of #COMICS_Carbon cruise. Huge dataset collected on the effect of ocean oxygen level on carbon transfer in the twilight zone! National Oceanography Centre Anna Belcher OceanEupher @ChelseyABaker @_Pipa_Carvalho

Popping my Oceanographic conference cherry with the Challenger Society #challenger2018 conference Newcastle University, looking forward to answering(!) the question ‘Are mesopelagic microbial communities iron limited?” from a COMICS project cruise. Come and listen tomorrow to find out!

Next OceanEupher discusing iron limitation in mesopelagic microbial communities Challenger Society #Challenger2018

#Challenger2018 OceanEupher finds that the mesooelagic bacteria at South Georgia weren't Fe limited during COMICS project. Great talk :)

Really enjoyed sharing my initial results at my first conference!

Here’s Sari Giering from National Oceanography Centre talking about the flux data from the COMICS project expedition around South Georgia at the #challenger2018 Challenger Society meeting

I've never had a conference question answered so well and with such a cool analogy! TEP is like superglue in the ocean (Sari from COMICS project) #Challenger2018

Challenger Society beautiful glider data from COMICS project project, nicely presented by @_Pipa_Carvalho

This is just great news. By sheer chance we spent some time this week looking at data from COMICS project - our Southern Ocean + Benguela twilight zone programme

Some of our samples from COMICS project all at different stages of nitrogen conversion #nitrogencycle

Welcome home to National Oceanography Centre #RRSDiscovery. Many missions delivered since you sailed 2 years ago including both COMICS project expeditions. Next stop the PAP Observatory as part of the @CLASS_UKRI and ICOS RI programmes.

It’s the National Oceanography Centre open day today - #professorparticle needs assistants to do experiments on particle sinking speeds - a bit like this one done on a ship in the Soythern Ocean as part of the COMICS project project last year!

Anna Belcher tackling a big unknown in the oceans - importance of deep fish on the carbon sink through respiration. COMICS project IMBeR #FutureOceans2
