🚢🌊Welcome aboard! 🌊🚢 Meet the science party of the IMPULSE cruise as we board our new floating home for the next 6 weeks, the Marcus G Langseth! Mandatary team photos completed, ready to sail 10 am tomorrow morning! #impulse2024

Yesterday, the Uni of Birmingham led IMPULSE expedition set sail from Hafnarfjörður, Iceland. Find out what the crew will be up to, and how this research will help us to understand global #climatechange birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/impu…

After just over a day of sailing, we made it to our first OBS drop @ midnight! We’re deploying ocean bottom seismometers to record acoustic waves and using the data to interpret the structure and thickness of the oceanic crust south of Iceland 🇮🇸

Seventy two hours in and all fifty OBSs have been deployed for the first instalment of data collection! 🌊

First wide-angle line complete and the retrieval of seismometers is well under way ready to get them redeployed for the next line 🚩

We successfully retrieved all our instruments and are on our second round of deployment! The data from line one is looking good, and we even managed to pick up the Japan earthquake!

✨Day in the life of an OBS ✨ We’ve been busy turning our OBSs around between their first deployments and their second dip in the sea, have a watch to see what that entails! #impulse2024 #science #research #scienceatsea #lifeatsea vm.tiktok.com/ZGecFNqWQ/

A team of Cambridge geoscientists are onboard the IMPULSE, taking the pulse of the Icelandic Mantle Plume🛳️🌋 Aisling Dunn Philippa Slay and Callum Pearman are spending 38 days in the North Atlantic! The international research expedition is led by College of Life and Environmental Sciences.

We have completed phase one of our mission and have moved on from collecting OBS data to multi-channel seismic data. We have deployed the streamer complete with 14,400 hydrophones! Here’s part one of deploying streamer - totalling 15 km in length! tiktok.com/t/ZGeTGmVgN/
