OceanShot: The Cruise – the Lab Team Embarks on the RV Falkor (too)

We’re officially off!

The Lab team — Prof. Cheryl Ames, Chanikarn Yongstar (Nune) and Kei CHloe Tan — is already on board in Salvador, Brazil, prepping for the ambitious OceanShot cruise aboard the RV Falkor (too). While the team is currently settling in and getting the gear ready, the ship is set to depart on 15/04, navigating the coastline toward Fortaleza until May 1st. Throughout the journey, the team will be focusing their research on the mid-water column, utilizing a diverse range of scientific methods to analyze this deep-sea “twilight zone.” The best part? You can join the expedition from home! We invite you to follow the journey and watch live ROV dives through the ship’s website at schmidtocean.org/technology/live-from-rv-falkor/.

Stay tuned for more updates from the Atlantic very soon!
