Some of the spectacular cores recovered for @ProjectUltra22 during Cruise #JC224 in the cold store ready for nondestructive analyses. Let the science begin!
Productive sediment core processing at @BOSCORF_NOC this week! Can’t wait to “hear” what these sediments have to tell! #sediments #PhD
Sailing past the Needles on our way into Southampton. HyBis and the rest of our kit is all packed up and ready to be craned off when we get into dock. #ScienceAtSea @ProjectUltra22
Beautiful view of The Needles this morning. The end of an expedition is always bittersweet, but excited for the science to follow and for part 2 next year. Huge thanks to all the crew, officers, engineers, technical staff and scientists for an amazing expedition. @ProjectUltra22
Final group photo for the Project Ultra science and technical party, as we wait for the pilot in the Solent. It has a great cruise, with some fascinating science. Thanks to everyone on board the RRS James Cook, and back onshore for making it such a great success!
Our first lettuce for several weeks! 😅 Made a quick stop just offshore from the Azores today to drop someone off and took advantage of the opportunity grab some fresh fruit and veg before heading on to Southampton. About a week to go till we're back! @ProjectUltra22
We be on our way home but the science continues! Some of the science team discussing pXRF data from the drill core - we've been hard at work processing the data we collected and are now thinking about what it might mean. #ScienceAtSea @ProjectUltra22 @ES_UCL
Dolphins off the bow as we head into Ponta Delgada (Azores) to drop off Professor MacLeod.
SzuYing and Christian try on survival suits in our safety drill.
Christian @ChristianBish01 using the pXRF to get some instant initial geochemical results from samples we picked up during RUV dives. We will use this data to help understand the seafloor system & to guide our next sampling. #science #exploration @ProjectUltra22
Getting my #StarTrek Science Officer cosplay on while pXRF-ing samples in the wee hours of the morning 😆 @ProjectUltra22 - boldly going where no seafloor drill has gone before! #Science #exploration #justforfun #ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike
As somebody who likes writing labels a lot, core curation is basically heaven. Already excited to work on this very interesting core from @ProjectUltra22 drilled by the BGS RD2. #geology #research #ocean
Dr. John Jamieson of the Earth Sciences department gave a zoom talk via satellite internet from the UK research vessel, the RSS James Cook, from the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Wow! SEA conference, Memorial Science. @MemorialUSci @MemorialU @MUN_EarthSci
Taking a Cornetto break during our sampling party 😋 now we've finished collecting samples we are deciding who is going to do what analyses when we get back to answer our scientific questions. #ScienceAtSea @ProjectUltra22 @ES_UCL
Last gravity core on deck, and the RRS James Cook is ready to sail for home. Many thanks to the Captain, John and the crew for a very successful expedition. Lots more to do on the way back, sorting out samples and analysing the results.
And congratulations to Sven, who became a grandfather today. Our best wishes go to him and his family.
Collecting gravity cores to examine the sediments around the massive sulfides. The sediments will include fall-out from the now inactive black smoker vents, which will help constrain the history of the hydrothermal activity.
As well as our drilling noise our seismometers are also picking up tiny earthquakes. These are probably coming from very nearby. Typically several occur every hour, a reminder that we are on an active plate boundary, where Africa and America are separating at about 12mm per year.
