Happy 1^st day of the DSB2 Cruise aboard the RV Pt. Sur! I’m Jane Carrick, a postdoctoral fellow from the University of Rhode Island. Along with expert Dr. Andy Davies, I’m on the ship to deploy a benthic lander to the deep seafloor where it will record data for the next 11 days.

Hello, everyone-  Heather J here and excited to share that we are heading out on our next DEEPEND cruise and leave at midnight!  Everyone is scurrying around as the science team and crew load gear, equipment, and food onboard in preparation to leave the dock later tonight. 

Hi everyone,

Bianca here with one final update from the DP10 cruise.

Hello,

My name is Zyan Brown, and I am part of Dr. Tamara Frank’s Deep-Sea Biology Lab. This was my first time on the R/V Point Sur with the DEEPEND crew, and honestly, I was very nervous and anxious going into this, not knowing what to expect. But what an incredible experience it has been. Being able to contribute to this ongoing research, supported by the NOAA RESTORE Science Program, was both meaningful and fulfilling.
