Studying deep-sea hydrothermal sediments. 🇬🇧🇵🇭

[Acer Figueroa @acrfgr]

Really happy to share that I was the runner up during the Southampton #3MT Final! It was a pleasure to share a bit of my ongoing research on deep-sea minerals I’ve been doing at @OceanEarthUoS and @NOCnews.

@E_AtayeeBennett Our 3 Minute Thesis runner up is Acer Figueroa​ with 'Hunting for green treasures in the deep blue sea​'

Congratulations Acer!

Come and work with us @NOCnews - it’s great here! We’re recruiting a PERMANENT biogeochemist to work on projects including hydrothermal records in sediments (including on a @NERCscience funded project in Santorini), coastal pollutants and organic carbon.

(radiocarbon) Dating on Valentine’s Day! Spent a few days at @SUERC1 NEIF Radiocarbon Laboratory playing around with taps, glasswares and liquid nitrogen. Amazed to see all these isotope labs and facilities including the AMS! #PhD #radiocarbon #isotopes

Split. Scan. Subsample. Repeat.
Excited to see what my second set of @ProjectUltra22 sediment cores for my PhD will uncover. As always, massive thanks to @BOSCORF_NOC for their support and hard work on processing these precious cores since last week! #PhD #sediments #hydrothermal

[1/8]🗺️We think you’ll agree, the #ocean is one of the most mysterious places on #Earth. For centuries, humans have explored the deep waters in search of the unknown.

In the Sea Mapping Through the Ages series, we’re journeying through the history of #seabed exploration.

[BOSCORF @BOSCORF_NOC]

A big thank you to all instructors involved in delivering our advanced core scanning techniques course last week, including @FliesInLakes, @soutterbidite for the sessions on #rprogramming and #pythonprogramming and Monica Handley from @BODC @NOC_news on #DataManagement.

Productive sediment core processing at @BOSCORF_NOC this week! Can’t wait to “hear” what these sediments have to tell! #sediments #PhD

[BOSCORF @BOSCORF_NOC]

Some of the spectacular cores recovered for @ProjectUltra22 during Cruise #JC224 in the cold store ready for nondestructive analyses.

Let the science begin!

Look at that sediment core! Guess who’s the happiest scientist on board? #science #sediments @ProjectUltra22
