ACCLIMATE-2

In February 2020 I took part in the ACCLIMATE-2 voyage as a member of the science party on-board the R/V Marion Dufresne II. The voyage departed from Durban, South Africa and spent three weeks at sea, retreiving cores from the seafloor.

To learn more about our voyage take a look at the voyage homepage (contains content in English and French) and the blog posts I wrote while at sea to:

• learn about how we collect surface sediment samples using multicores

• learn about the microscopic siliceous phytoplankton responsible for producing half the oxygen on our planet - diatoms

• learn about a day in the life of the members of the on-board scientific party.
