We had to stop work on the RRS Discovery for a few hours in the night when the wind got to 40 knots. Calm again now. #DY206 #SeaSTORE

The first samples are on board! #SeaSTORE #DY206. Now continuing with the multi-corer to do detailed measurements and incubations to study carbon biogeochemistry.

We've been coring through the night on the gloopy mud to quantify carbon, nutrients and macrofauna over a gradient of trawling intensity #SeaSTORE #DY206

A windy night was followed by a nice dawn and a good day of sampling. Unfortunately there is much more wind to come tonight. #DY206 #SeaSTORE

International women's day on the RRS Discovery with our great team of scientist and crew. #DY206 #SeaSTORE

And we're done! It has been a very productive cruise, with almost all plans completed, working with a great and expert team. Now on to analysing the data we collected, and then we'll do it all again in summer on #DY213 to see how temperature and stratification affect C release.

Our second trawling experiment is in progress in the Western Irish Sea Mud Belt. We're quantifying the size of the plume and sampling the suspended sediment. Preliminary results from the experiment in the Clyde are looking promising! #DY206 #SeaSTORE

We have been doing a 24hr intensive timeseries of profiles of turbulence using the VMP, with a CTD every 6h, to be able to quantify any movement of CO2 from the seabed to the surface. It's been a long day for the people on deck...

We picked our lander up again today, seems the weight sank quite some way into the mud. #DY206 #SeaSTORE

Article in Fishing News about our recent #SeaSTORE cruise on the RRS Discovery #DY206, where we have been working together with the fishing industry to quantify CO2 release in the sediment plume behind trawlers
