On Wednesday I joined #RRSJamesCook in dry dock to finish the 2023 refit. #Amsterdam

Yesterday I joined #RRSDiscovery in dry dock at @Babcockplc Rosyth dockyard to finish the 2023 refit! #feelslikehome

Looking good, #RRSDiscovery! ✨

We’ve joined the Royal Research Ship in Rosyth, Scotland for its refit, which includes a fresh lick of paint. 🖌️

This is Pingo and Nina. They are believed to be the only Rainbow Dalmatians in the world. Approximately 25% of their spots are red, blue, or yellow, instead of black. Scientists are stumped, but one thing is certain: it would be an honor to pet them. 14/10 for both

The @NOC_news Royal Research Ship James Cook is working 24 hours a day to collect data from the Pacific seafloor #smartexccz

[National Oceanography Centre @NOCnews]

Just 30% of our planet is covered by land. The rest is covered by our ocean. 🌍

We believe that if we all have a deeper understanding of the ocean, we can unlock its potential and provide solutions to problems facing the world today.

So here at NOC, we #GoDeeper. ⏬

After a fantastic 3 days in Montevideo, it’s time to join #RRSDiscovery for a while! #DY158

Party time. #Challenger150

[Dr Daniel Phillips @danpphil]

Night at the museum #Challenger150

[Dr Eleanor Darlington @efdarlington]

Fantastic talks in @150_challenger #T7 #AutonomousOceanography great to see the science results. Huge thanks to the @NOCnews engineers and pilots who facilitate this data collection 👏

[Dr Daniel Phillips @danpphil]

Late to the party, but it’s 150 years since the birth of modern oceanography! #Challenger150

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods.

If you zoom in, you can see me at the front in the yellow! #JC238

Looking good from either side @RRSJamesCook. It was nice to see you out here. @iamProfDAM @uk_osnap @osnap_updates @NOCnews @NIOZatSea @univmiami @pahdsn #NorthAtlantic

[Phoebe Hudson @pahdsn]

Amazing to witness the @osnap_updates handoff from #jc238 and @uk_osnap to @rv_neil in the middle of the North Atlantic!

[National Oceanography Centre @NOCnews]

It's proving to be a busy week for our Research Ships!

Today #RRSJamesCook departed to the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre on #JC238. Learn more about the work here 💡 https://t.co/iSkhLRQorv

A month after starting my #newjob at @NOCnews with the NMF sea scientific systems team, I’m in dry dock with the #RRSJamesCook learning how everything works! #Amsterdam #oceanography #science
