Earlier this year Dr Angie Milne and Dr Simon Ussher from the University of Plymouth were involved in leading the world鈥檚 first trace metal biogeochemical survey in the eastern Weddell Sea by the Larsen Ice Shelf. Funded by NERC they took part in the 52 day PICCOLO cruise (Processes Influencing Carbon Cycling: Observations of the Lower limb of the Antarctic Overturning). The journey took the scientists from Chile, across Drake Passage and ashore to James Ross, Seymour and Vega Islands and down through ice floes to the Larsen Ice Shelf (southernmost latitude 67.6 掳S). The voyage was over 5600 nautical miles and took place on the Royal Research Ship Sir David Attenborough, currently considered one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world. Join us for this illustrated talk on living and working onboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough as well as updates from the PICCOLO project in Antarctica.
