PORO-CLIM

The RV Celtic Explorer has docked, marking the end of our voyage. Though the seas had their challenges, the journey was unforgettable. Stay with us—there's more to come! #POROCLIM #OceanExploration #ResearchAtSea

With the medical emergency resolved, we’ve returned to the work area, but incoming storms prevent us from continuing POROCLIM research in the Rockall Basin. Now, we’re heading off the North Kerry coast to deploy the ROV for sample collection. 🌊 #OceanExploration #ScienceAtSea

@SimonCocking These rock samples can provide information on the volcanic volatiles that likely drove the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.

@ClimPoro What will the samples help to tell you?

After 3 successful ROV dives, we’ve collected three batches of samples! Now, it's time to head to our next location. 🌊🔬

Following three successful survey profiles with the magnetometer, we’re heading back to Galway due to a medical complication onboard. Safety is our top priority as we seek medical attention. Stay tuned for updates. 🚢 #POROCLIM2

We've reached our next location and are now towing the magnetometer along our survey lines! Exciting to watch the magnetic data roll in. #PoRoCLIM

After two days of travel aboard the RV Celtic Explorer, we’ve finally reached our first site, Fangorn! The ROV has been deployed, and we’re now collecting samples. #PoRoCLIM

@MarineInst @eurofleets @unibirmingham @GeoSurvey_DK_GL @DIAS_Dublin Another way to follow us along is on our website: poro-clim.org where we'll be posting blog updates regularly 🌊

We’re going back to sea! ⛴️ The first PORO-CLIM expedition ran back in May 2021 and collected lots of amazing data. Now we’re heading back to collect even more. Follow along for updates throughout the expedition from an international team of scientists!

📺Tonight on @10Things_ToKnow on RTE1 TV at 8:30pm, two iCRAG researchers, PhD student @etk89 of TCD and @ger_the_sea of MU, explore the wonders of our deep water world🌊
