[Johan Pauw @Johan_Pauw]

A truly visionary, innovative and ambitious global science collaboration. I foresee that GERI will make steady progress in connecting Ecosystem Observation RIs across continents.

2023 started off with a "splash" for the #SMCRI field team! The team serviced the Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) thermistor strings in the Algoa Bay Sentinel Site & completed PELTER #128 on the Coastal Craft Platform R/V Observer.
