the #CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) is a fundamental instrument used for #oceanobservation. The CTD is hosted on most EirOOS: Irish Ocean Observing System platforms taking vital, continuous data for public use. #CTDAppreciationDay Marine Institute

My favorite instrument has its own appreciation day 😊 a few photos from the recent survey with CTD casts in the North Atlantic and Galway Bay #CTDAppreciationDay

Latest #ocean #climate report in the making! Our WG on #oceanography #WGOH held a hybrid meeting last week for the first time after the pandemic. They analyse the current hydrographic situation in the North Atlantic for ICES Report on Ocean Climate. ➡️ ices.dk/community/grou…

Perfection. 👨‍🍳

This is what a recovery & redeployment of the South Rockall Trough Deep Water Mooring EMSO ERIC pilot site looks like. This mooring consists of 6 #CTDs to a depth of 3000m & #ADCP. Thanks to the crew on #RVCelticExplorer Marine Institute Research Vessels Marine Institute! Now time to process the data…

This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again

Delighted to announce my first oceanography paper! 🌊🐳🪼 We look at changes to the ocean's water column in the Rockall Trough, west of Ireland, and what causes these climate relevant changes 🌏 Big shout out to all our super co-authors!⚓️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Marine Institute

Neil is a visiting researcher from Scottish Association for Marine Science who, together with his colleague @lewisdrysdale, is deploying a seabed pressure sensor on the Rockall Trough slope for long-term monitoring. Join us as for another #MeettheResearcher on Marine Institute #AIMSIR survey!

Sheena joins us from P&O Maritime and is working with deploying and recovering the #M6 and deep sea mooring. She is also busy piloting an EirOOS: Irish Ocean Observing System glider for a separate mission while on board. Come back tomorrow for more #MeettheResearcher on Marine Institute #AIMSIR survey!

We welcomed Ashly from Maynooth University for her first time at sea! She is a Marine Institute Cullen PhD candidate studying wave modelling in Maynooth Geography. #AIMSIR #MeettheResearcher

Daniel and Roberto from envisad are on board trialling a new fibre optic cable connection to their LanderPick system for deploying seabed landers. #AIMSIR #MeettheResearcher

I'm humbled and privileged to be working with such great people in such an interesting and evermore climate important job, that is: Ocean Science 🌍🌊💦⚓️
