On Wednesday I joined #RRSJamesCook in dry dock to finish the 2023 refit. #Amsterdam

Yesterday I joined #RRSDiscovery in dry dock at @Babcockplc Rosyth dockyard to finish the 2023 refit! #feelslikehome

This is Pingo and Nina. They are believed to be the only Rainbow Dalmatians in the world. Approximately 25% of their spots are red, blue, or yellow, instead of black. Scientists are stumped, but one thing is certain: it would be an honor to pet them. 14/10 for both

The @NOC_news Royal Research Ship James Cook is working 24 hours a day to collect data from the Pacific seafloor #smartexccz

Just 30% of our planet is covered by land. The rest is covered by our ocean. 🌍 We believe that if we all have a deeper understanding of the ocean, we can unlock its potential and provide solutions to problems facing the world today. So here at NOC, we #GoDeeper. ⏬

Proof that I made it to the #FalklandIslands . King penguins!!! #DY158

Socks and sandals, and the worlds biggest iceberg #A76A #DY158

@oceans_and_ice @BAS_News @NOCnews @BIOPOLE_NERC Splashie, the Whale plushie. @efworkman96 agrees.

#RRSDiscovery stopped at #SouthGeorgia yesterday for an EK80 calibration #DY158

After a fantastic 3 days in Montevideo, it’s time to join #RRSDiscovery for a while! #DY158

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s monarch for the past 70 years, has died aged 96 bbc.in/3ewsh18

Party time. #Challenger150

Night at the museum #Challenger150

Fantastic talks in @150_challenger #T7 #AutonomousOceanography great to see the science results. Huge thanks to the @NOCnews engineers and pilots who facilitate this data collection 👏

Late to the party, but it’s 150 years since the birth of modern oceanography! #Challenger150

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods. @R0b1et @UniRdg_water

If you zoom in, you can see me at the front in the yellow! #JC238

Amazing to witness the @osnap_updates handoff from #jc238 and @uk_osnap to @rv_neil in the middle of the North Atlantic!

It's proving to be a busy week for our Research Ships! Today #RRSJamesCook departed to the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre on #JC238. Learn more about the work here 💡 noc.ac.uk/news/new-exped… Follow @uk_osnap for updates on the expedition! #NMF #OceanExploration

A month after starting my #newjob at @NOCnews with the NMF sea scientific systems team, I’m in dry dock with the #RRSJamesCook learning how everything works! #Amsterdam #oceanography #science
