#25YearsOfAutosub 📅 1998 🇧🇲 Bermuda For the AVVEX (Autonomous Vehicle Validation Experiment) expedition in the vicinity of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series mooring (BATS), Autosub-1 was equipped with sensors, CTDs, and a state-of-the-art turbulence probe. 🔧

4 MOCNESS tows done ✅ at BATS station and Hydrostation. Let’s see what kind of critters we get from these tows! Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) BIOS | Arizona State University #Zooplankton

Meet part of the shipboard team that keeps the BATS time-series program running smoothly, both at sea during monthly #research cruises and back in the #lab. bit.ly/shipteam #WomenInSTEM #oceanography

Exciting deployment today on the BATS cruise…our new sediment trap racks!! Designed by BATS tech Dom Smith, these bespoke racks were created to hold the new sediment trap tubes designed by former BATS tech Matt Hayden. We might be an old time series but we love new ideas!

Researchers from GEOMAR_en with the BIOS-SCOPE project are tracking the movement of #carbon within the base of the #marine food web, as well as the rates of grazing by mixotrophic protists on the #phytoplankton species (& other microbes) at BATS bit.ly/bigdata_biossc…

And there they went! Into another cruise, joining the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) team! Good luck ZoopGroupLady Rocio B Rodriguez Perez Yuuki Niimi with the mocness tows and experiments! This is part of a #NSFfunded joint project between BIOS | Arizona State University and Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University

Happy Birthday Hydrostation ‘S’! The time series is 68 years old today Initiated in 1954 to further understanding on the physical nature of the ocean. Data has been collected here for the past 68 years, making it the longest running oceanographic time-series for physical data.

Data from Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) was used in a recent @nature paper exploring the #ocean’s #microbiome with an eye to how it might serve as a reservoir of biosynthetic and natural products #timeseries #datascience go.nature.com/3tVTijm

Just about time to depart. #TRoL cruise piggybacking on Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) with lead PI Eric Webb Anjali Bhatnagar (she/her) Catie S. Cleveland Shelby Barnes #NSFfunded

The Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) team continues their myriad measurements, Catie S. Cleveland @shelbyjbarnes1 Anjali Bhatnagar (she/her) Eric Webb have picked hundreds of Tricho colonies, and we got another great sunset. #TRoL #NSFfunded

Our friends from BIOS | Arizona State University deploying one of our Spotter metocean buoys during their monthly Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) cruise! Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) has collected ocean data every month since 1988 (!). 📸: NSF funded Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study / BIOS

Here we go again! Another #NSFfunded time at sea, together with the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) team. Assembling the MOCNESS with Rocio B Rodriguez Perez - leaving tomorrow morning!

Doing some outdoor exploring the day before our cruise with Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) !

Finally, I just want to thank my coauthors, @bentemperton for all his support and everybody at Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) + BIOS-SCOPE and Plymouth Marine Lab for their extraordinary work monitoring the ocean and generating fascinating data.

We’ve reached BATS cruise 400! 🎉

Applications are still open and are reviewed as they arrive so if you’re thinking of applying, sooner is better! Happy to answer any questions

While we celebrate #internationalwomensday, it's essential to address the unique challenges women face in ocean exploration. Inspiring young women to pursue these careers is important, but creating a space where they can remain in these careers still needs to be addressed. 1/9

New paper - with Luciana Santoferrara and her lab! We studied the distribution and ecological affinities of #ciliates (#protists) at Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) in the epi and mesopelagic, as part of our Simons Foundation and #NSFfunded research. The photic‐aphotic divide on ciliates! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/je…
