Project Description

Posts for the TRACERS project will begin on our way to McMurdo Station, Antarctica in early February 2013 just before the cruise, on which we will spend approximately two months in the Ross Sea and Southern Ocean aboard the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer. The goal of our research is to sample biogeochemical properties in seawater to further understand algal carbon export in the Ross Sea.

Directly following TRACERS, the cruise will take us near Cape Colbeck, Antarctica where scientists will spend a week studying emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri). After that week, a mooring will be recovered in the Southern Ocean before we steam across the Drake Passage to Punta Arenas, Chile, where we will disembark on 5 April 2013.
