Some basket stars giving this rock ledge a lovely framed haircut at 1900m depth in Explorer Canyon. Caught on camera by the #ROVIsis, wish us safe piloting tonight!⁦National Oceanography Centre⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦JNCC⁩

Drilling for rock samples in the #WhittardCanyon to groundtruth the #ROVIsis footage so we can understand species preference for rock type. ⁦National Oceanography Centre⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦JNCC⁩

More #ROVIsis dives overnight. Last night the technical team worked closely with the ships crew to fly the ROV along the canyon wall for mapping #JC237 #OceanSciencd #OceanEngineering #ScienceAtSea National Oceanography Centre

Small, medium or large? We have 3 options to core on #JC237. The #ROVIsis takes short pushcores using live camera footage whilst the larger mega and gravity cores penetrate deeper into the sediment. ⁦Marine Geosciences⁩ ⁦National Oceanography Centre⁩ ⁦iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩

After a 2 hour dive Autosub5 has just reached the sea bed at PAP for a #JC237 24 hour camera survey. 4800m is the deepest she has gone so far! National Oceanography Centre @CLASS_UKRI Natural Environment Research Council #Oceanrobots

Por qué un planeta tan pequeño como Marte tiene la montaña más alta del Sistema Solar? Muy fácil, por la ausencia de dinámica litosférica de placas

The National Oceanography Centre Remotely Operated Vehicle is crucial to the #JC237 mission objectives. #ROVIsis takes samples from the stratigraphic formations that underpin Whittard Canyon's slopes, helping BGS' Gareth & OGS's Silvia understand canyon rock slope behavior at higher resolution.

PhD programme funded by OGS within the PNRR Geosciences project at University La Sapienza with title ’Mapping and modelling marine geohazards’ to be enveloped between Rome and Trieste phd.uniroma1.it/web/bando-aggi… for info please contact me!

-Can you send us your presentation a week before the conference? - No, i'm still working on it

Finally, last article from my PHD is out!! Really happy to share new findings about spatial development of cold-water coral mounds!!

Consider to submit an abstract (deadline 28 February!) at the session ‘Assessing geohazards of submarine Landslides: where are we? and what are we missing?’ wlf6.org/forum-themes/#… —> 6th World Landslide Forum (Firenze 14-17 November 2023)

Incessant activity in Trieste to prepare the oceanographic cruise ERODOTO aimed at investigating marine geohazards in a submarine canyon in the Ionian Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea)…#marinegeohazards #ogs.it #submarinecanyons
