A successful first trace metal clean sampling cast of #AntarcticPICCOLO sampled in the sparkling clean labs of the RRS Sir David Attenborough University of Leeds University of Plymouth British Antarctic Survey 🐧

We woke at 5:30am today to watch our passage through Antarctica Sound - such a contrast to 48 hours ago. We’ve arrived in Antarctica and this will live long in my memory. #AntarcticPICCOLO University of Leeds UEA School of Environmental Sciences Plymouth Marine Lab British Antarctic Survey 🐧 SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) University of St Andrews Univ of Plymouth

The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough is now out and about on its next climate science mission 🚢 #AntarcticPICCOLO led by UEA will investigate the biological and chemical processes that draw carbon deep into the Southern Ocean. ➡️ ow.ly/ZRLs50QtF62 📸 Jamie Anderson

It is ca. -2°C outside with a bit of wind and snow. We all are wearing several layers of cloth to keep us warm even when being outside for longer time periods #AntarcticPICCOLO RoSES British Antarctic Survey 🐧 University of Leeds UEA School of Environmental Sciences Plymouth Marine Lab University of St Andrews Univ of Plymouth SMRU (now posting at Bluesky)

Three Earth and Environment at Leeds researchers, Dr Will Homoky Alastair Lough, Chiara Krewer, and 32 scientists from across the UK have embarked on a two month expedition to the Antarctic to examine the role the cold polar seas play in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere 🌊

Yesterday, we dropped 40days of field supplies on Seymour Island for our fossil hunting friends Rowan Whittle James W et al.. Here’s a recap 🎶 #AntarcticPICCOLO
