@HMRCcustomers How much tax would an employee have to pay if their employer reimbursed them for 1 nhs dental checkup at £25.80?

@DeepSea_LVA @marineinstitute @SchmidtOcean We did a lot of aeroplane impressions with our arms for figuring out x, y and z!

Different types of maps reveal different characteristics. The #CliffReefs expedition is examining substrates & ecosystems around the #Galápagos, mapping them with both light+sound, hoping to explore new areas and study them in fine detail. Full video: https://t.co/1gDlF4jgFb

If you’d like to hear me talk about the #HungaVolcano #eruption #volcanoes and marine #geohazards in general then check out this @NOCnews podcast. The work of so many people so poorly credited by me but, as ever, we couldn’t do this work without all our incredible collaborators.

NOC Scientists have embarked on a month-long research expedition that seeks to reduce risk of extracting metals on the sea floor. ⛏️

A descent to the abyss for a #multibeamsurvey at the #SmartexCCZ using the #ROVIsis to map the seabed collector test location. Wish us luck and lots of coffee as we’ll be flying at 50m so no cucumber sightings! ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁩ ⁦⁦@NHM_Science⁩ ⁦@BritGeoSurvey⁩

Women assemble! Great to spend #WomenInScienceDay with these awesome women exploring the #SMARTEXCCZ on the #RRSJamesCook @NOCnews @NHM_London @NHM_Science @BritGeoSurvey

Farewell #WhittardCanyon on #JC237.
We see your ‘number of deployments = number of recoveries’ @Alphillips200 on #DY152 and raise you 2 recoveries!!! @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU #oceanrobots

Exploring life in the Porcupine abyssal plane at 4800 m water depth onboard of the RRS James Cook #jc237 @OGS_IT @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU @NOCnews @JNCC_UK

[Cat Wardell @_CatWardell]

Small, medium or large? We have 3 options to core on #JC237. The #ROVIsis takes short pushcores using live camera footage whilst the larger mega and gravity cores penetrate deeper into the sediment. ⁦@BGSMarineGeo⁩ ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩

Drilling for rock samples in the #WhittardCanyon to groundtruth the #ROVIsis footage so we can understand species preference for rock type. ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@JNCC_UK⁩

Some basket stars giving this rock ledge a lovely framed haircut at 1900m depth in Explorer Canyon. Caught on camera by the #ROVIsis, wish us safe piloting tonight!⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@JNCC_UK⁩

Interested in benthic ecosystems like this?

Help us record the biodiversity in seafloor photographs of the Clarion Clipperton Zone.

Two great job opportunities @NOCnews.

Help understand the effects of #DeepSeaMining

We’re off! To the depths of the eastern branch of the #WhittardCanyon with our camera and claw equipped ROV to look at coral walls, avalanche deposits and the distribution of organic carbon and plastics in canyons @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU @JNCC_UK

[Cat Wardell @_CatWardell]

@Emmeb8 @squidblubber Should we be worried? 🤨

[Cat Wardell @_CatWardell]

New #Autosub5 multibeam data at 4000m in the #WhittardCanyon marine protected area. Submarine canyons often support increased diversity in habitats and species. AUVs allow us to map these deep areas in high resolution! @NOCnews @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU @NERCscience #oceanrobots

[Cat Wardell @_CatWardell]

Going to the deep! Bathysnap, a time lapse camera for deep seas (4000m), has been released from the #RRSDiscovery on #DY152. We will collect it in a month from the #RRSJamesCook on #JC237. @CLASS_UKRI @NERCscience #SMARTEX @NOCnews

Extreme fishing! The #BoatyMcBoatface recovery team attaches a hook with a rope onto the #ALR3 with a very (very) long pole. She is then winched safely onboard and charged for her next mission! ⁦@NOCnews⁩ ⁦@CLASS_UKRI⁩ ⁦@NERCscience⁩ ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁩

What a team! Putting #BoatyMcBoatface #ALR3 to bed after a camera survey at #HaigFras marine protected area with the #BioCAM 3D visual imaging technology for mapping the seabed @UoSEngineering @NOCnews @NERCscience @CLASS_UKRI @iAtlanticEU
