@COMICS_Carbon is a NERC funded project to explore what controls the ocean's biological carbon pump

@Oceans_Anna tackling a big unknown in the oceans - importance of deep fish on the carbon sink through respiration. @COMICS_Carbon @imber_ipo #FutureOceans2

It’s the @NOCnews open day today - #professorparticle needs assistants to do experiments on particle sinking speeds - a bit like this one done on a ship in the Soythern Ocean as part of the @COMICS_Carbon project last year! – at Southampton, England
How fast do marine snow particles sink? Only one way to find out - a particle race!! #Comics_carbon @NOCnews

Welcome home to @NOCnews #RRSDiscovery. Many missions delivered since you sailed 2 years ago including both @COMICS_Carbon expeditions. Next stop the @PAP_observatory as part of the @CLASS_UKRI and @ICOS_RI programmes.

Some of our samples from @COMICS_Carbon all at different stages of nitrogen conversion #nitrogencycle

Early career scientist interested in how marine life helps store carbon in the ocean? Check out this international workshop on the Twilight Zone next July -

This is just great news. By sheer chance we spent some time this week looking at data from @COMICS_Carbon - our Southern Ocean + Benguela twilight zone programme
Anchor away! Now the weight that will hold the mooring in place is in. It weighs over 3 tonnes and will take almost an hour to sink the 5km down to the seafloor. #CUSTARDcruise #RoSES_CUSTARD @oceanobserv @NOCnews

I've never had a conference question answered so well and with such a cool analogy! TEP is like superglue in the ocean (Sari from @COMICS_Carbon) #Challenger2018

Here’s Sari Giering from @NOCnews talking about the flux data from the @COMICS_Carbon expedition around South Georgia at the #challenger2018 @challengersoc meeting

Really enjoyed sharing my initial results at my first conference!

Next @JoAinsworth4 discusing iron limitation in mesopelagic microbial communities

Popping my Oceanographic conference cherry with the @challengersoc #challenger2018 conference @UniofNewcastle, looking forward to answering(!) the question ‘Are mesopelagic microbial communities iron limited?” from a @COMICS_Carbon cruise. Come and listen tomorrow to find out!

Want to dress up as a scientist and make your own plankton poo? Then visit our exhibition at the @bluedotfestival #discoverthebluedot
Time to start packing up our gear and heading home at the end of #COMICS_Carbon cruise. Huge dataset collected on the effect of ocean oxygen level on carbon transfer in the twilight zone! @NOCnews @Oceans_Anna @JoAinsworth4 @ChelseyABaker @_Pipa_Carvalho

Cleaning glider ‘Doombar’ before packing it away. Goose barnacles quickly attach themselves and don’t like to let go! @COMICS_Carbon @StephAHenson @NOCnews
Last event of #COMICS_Carbon cruise - Marine Snow Catcher number 167! Heading back to Cape Town with a fantastic dataset on the biological carbon pump @NOCnews @_Pipa_Carvalho
Today we said thank you to Candice, one of our scientific engineers, as she nears the end of her last cruise. Sad to be saying goodbye to a CTD tech extraordinaire! @NOCnews #COMICS_Carbon

Glider 'Doombar' recovered after a successful 4.5 month mission off Namibia from the @COMICS_Carbon cruise. Go team GOCART! @StephAHenson @n8briggs @_Pipa_Carvalho @NOCnews
Nearing the end of science time on #COMICS_Carbon so it’s time to wash the zooplankton nets. This could be the biggest washing line we’ve ever seen! @NOCnews
See some fabulous photos of creatures of the deep from the #COMICS_Carbon cruise collected by @BAS_News team! comics.ac.uk/magical-sea-bea… @NOCnews @Oceans_Anna

Final predawn CTD sampled in the Benguela singing along to The Greatest Showman with the fab team @COMICS_Carbon! A huge thanks to @mcsuk volunteering on @CapturingRCoast with @Leonie_Rich who advised & inspired me to start my oceanographic career - feeling #absolutelycrabulous!
