ReefQuest

Busy couple of days getting ready for sea! . . . #protatax23 #deepsea #vents #axialseamount #microbes #rov #research #expedition #ocean #explore #covidredo

After ROV Jason gets back on deck, the action starts in the lab. It can be a long day-night of work, but it’s possible because of this excited, dedicated, and fun team! And lots of snacks. @JulesDeep @microbiaki @MEPjoe @ventmicrobes

Been busy this Sunday! Starting 2nd superstation of the weekend —@clhoffma and @ReefQuestOrg on the taglines, while the captain fires up the grill off-camera. Superstation Steak Sunday, everyone! #PlumeRaiders #NSFfunded @NSF

Unknown risks of subsampling Big Bertha this morning.

Our first three issues of Plume Raiders Magazine have dropped!! Science communication is really important, so we have been publishing a weekly cover for those on board to keep everyone up to date with what is going on. #plumeraiders #NSFfunded @NSF @MonrealPatrick @ReefQuestOrg

Enjoying the views as we get closer and closer to our main site. In the meantime, we’ll be analyzing the samples from the plume we saw yesterday! #PlumeRaiders #NSFfunded @NSF @WHOI @CICOESresearch @UWOcean @ODU_OES @UofSC_SEOE @TAMU_ocean @URIGSO @StanfordEarth @livunioceansci

First tow-yo is in the water! Time go hunt for some hydrothermal plumes at 5°S. #plumeraiders #NSFfunded @NSF @WHOI @CICOESresearch @UWOcean @ODU_OES @UofSC_SEOE @TAMU_ocean @URIGSO @StanfordEarth @LivUniOceanSci @UWEnvironment @OSUCEOAS @RVRogerRevelle

The ship is a buzz as we prep bottles and equipment for our fist cast at 16:30 PT at GOFAR west! Will keep everyone updated with what we find and if your predictions were correct!

well, we’ve made it to the southern hemisphere folks #PlumeRaiders

No time to stick around NEPR 9°N. We are on the move again. Next stop the Go Far Fracture Zone. Will get to SEPR some day soon! #plumeraiders #NSFfunded @NSF @WHOI @CICOESresearch @UWOcean @ODU_OES @UofSC_SEOE @TAMU_ocean @URIGSO @StanfordEarth @LivUniOceanSci @UWEnvironment

We have officially left the Mexican EEZ — time to start collecting data! We turned on a flow cytometer to look at phytoplankton while we transit and added it to our photo wall. Check out our Instagram (plumeraiders) for more! #PlumeRaiders #NSFfunded @NSF

17 days, 17 @UN SDGs, dozen of speakers from across sectors convening to tackle the world's most important goals! Join us starting on October 5th, 2021 for Ideagen's 17 Days of Sustainability as we showcase how people, organizations, and communities are addressing these goals.

Honored to be participating in @IdeagenGlobal 17 Days of Sustainability discussing #14: Life Below Water!

Follow our expedition profile @PlumeRaiders_01 for updates!

As part of my studies at @UWOcean, I am participating on a #NSFFunded research expedition to the South Pacific to study deep sea hydrothermal vent trace metal outputs! I’ll be conducting metagenomic sampling to better understand the contributions of microbiology to metal cycling!

Join us and Dylan Vecchione at the UN for World Ocean Day 2020, today at 2:40p Eastern! Live at unworldoceansday.org/2020
