Today, the legendary JR begins her last journey to the shipwrecking yard. Home to many of us, she helped to understand plate tectonics, climate, deep biosphere, earthquakes/volcanoes, and was an integral part in international science and collaboration 🫡 www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/...

Still having goosebumps from Eivør‘s magical performance during the kick-off of the #UArctic Congress in the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴. The first day was already packed with speeches and plenaries by Indigenous peoples from across the #Arctic. What a pleasure to be here! ❄️

Have you ever wondered how microbiology samples were taken on the Joides Resolution? Check out @heikezimm.bsky.social on Exp 400 discuss #lablife at sea and how ancient DNA links organisms to changes in sea ice, climate and the ocean. 📽️ Watch Here:
