Marine Physics

My remaining holocams have been safely deployed by the @PlymUni @BIOTscience @WestonFdn team! Recorded #holograms can be refocused anywhere in the sample volume (several ml), to reveal microscopic detail (scale microns) of the undisturbed suspended particles eg 👇#zooplankton

Three of my newest holocams just shipped for deployment on the @PlymUni @BIOTscience @WestonFdn expedition to The Chagos Archipelago in November. Moored on #seamounts for several weeks, they will record high-resolution images of #plankton, #larvae and other #particles.

A full house for @katezissouadams presentation #osm2016

A father of oceanography presenting award to another father of oceanography. Walter Monk award given to Carl Wunsch.

Totally awe-struck meeting oceanographic pioneer, Walter Munk, at #OSM16 #mademyday

MPRG ready for departure to Chagos

Congratulations Sam Cox on a (very!) successful defence of her PhD thesis yesterday investigating oceanographic drivers for foraging

Finally finished, @marinephysics kit heading out to the Chagos Islands for the @PlymUniMI February research cruise

Attention to detail... No problem identifying our pallets in Chagos!

@pganderton @marinephysics @PlymUniMI lining them up shows my wonky paint job!

Good job Alex opening (and overseeing the building of) the Marine Station with Prince Albert II of Monaco!

Thanks for the hospitality Manta Trust in Maldives during collaboration on physics role in Manta foraging. Temperature sensors on their way!
