Different types of maps reveal different characteristics. The #CliffReefs expedition is examining substrates & ecosystems around the #Galápagos, mapping them with both light+sound, hoping to explore new areas and study them in fine detail. Full video: schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-… 1/2

If you’d like to hear me talk about the #HungaVolcano #eruption #volcanoes and marine #geohazards in general then check out this @NOCnews podcast. The work of so many people so poorly credited by me but, as ever, we couldn’t do this work without all our incredible collaborators. – at Bang Lamphu Lang, Thailand

A descent to the abyss for a #multibeamsurvey at the #SmartexCCZ using the #ROVIsis to map the seabed collector test location. Wish us luck and lots of coffee as we’ll be flying at 50m so no cucumber sightings! ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁩ ⁦⁦@NHM_Science⁩ ⁦@BritGeoSurvey⁩

Farewell #WhittardCanyon on #JC237. We see your ‘number of deployments = number of recoveries’ @Alphillips200 on #DY152 and raise you 2 recoveries!!! @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU #oceanrobots

Small, medium or large? We have 3 options to core on #JC237. The #ROVIsis takes short pushcores using live camera footage whilst the larger mega and gravity cores penetrate deeper into the sediment. ⁦@BGSMarineGeo⁩ ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩

Some basket stars giving this rock ledge a lovely framed haircut at 1900m depth in Explorer Canyon. Caught on camera by the #ROVIsis, wish us safe piloting tonight!⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@JNCC_UK⁩

Interested in benthic ecosystems like this? Help us record the biodiversity in seafloor photographs of the Clarion Clipperton Zone. Two great job opportunities @NOCnews. Help understand the effects of #DeepSeaMining Be a Benthic Megafaunal Annotator careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/be…

We’re off! To the depths of the eastern branch of the #WhittardCanyon with our camera and claw equipped ROV to look at coral walls, avalanche deposits and the distribution of organic carbon and plastics in canyons @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU @JNCC_UK

New #Autosub5 multibeam data at 4000m in the #WhittardCanyon marine protected area. Submarine canyons often support increased diversity in habitats and species. AUVs allow us to map these deep areas in high resolution! @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU @NERCscience #oceanrobots

Going to the deep! Bathysnap, a time lapse camera for deep seas (4000m), has been released from the #RRSDiscovery on #DY152. We will collect it in a month from the #RRSJamesCook on #JC237. @CLASS_UKRI @NERCscience #SMARTEX @NOCnews

Extreme fishing! The #BoatyMcBoatface recovery team attaches a hook with a rope onto the #ALR3 with a very (very) long pole. She is then winched safely onboard and charged for her next mission! ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦@NERCscience⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁩

What a team! Putting #BoatyMcBoatface #ALR3 to bed after a camera survey at #HaigFras marine protected area with the #BioCAM 3D visual imaging technology for mapping the seabed @UoSEngineering @NOCnews @NERCscience @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU

Sidescan sonar data of the rock striations at #HaigFras marine protected area from the #Autosub5. Repeat surveys of this MPA allow us to assess its evolution over time. @CLASS_UKRI @NOCnews @iAtlanticEU @NERCscience #oceanrobots

Any guesses for what sea creatures we’ll see on the #Autosub5 camera survey in #HaigFras marine protected area? I’m afraid no prizes as we’re 95km off the UK coast and are eating all available chocolate @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @NERCscience @iAtlanticEU #oceanrobots

Home safe to the #RRSDiscovery after a sidescan sonar data mission in the #HaigFras marine protected area. This data helps determine the seabed substrate type which is then used to make habitat maps. ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@NERCscience⁩
