It is time to go back to a subject I left unfinished almost a month ago. How do we know the time it takes water masses to move from their place of origin to where we find them?
Here is a review of…
Jim just communicated the whole science team that the cruise will be extended for another two weeks. The National Science Foundation (NSF) approved his request for 15 days more of ship time to finish…
If by any chance you have read the forum on this journal you might have realized that I got a lot of questions from sixth grade students from California. There were a few recurring themes. One of…
Do not let my lack of writing on Tuesday fool you. I skipped a day because I have been very busy, not because a visit by the Queen of Spades. The game is over, so you can figure who won. That is…

I have written on the digital pages of this journal about the places I have visited, the science that we are doing, the fauna we have encountered, and even the astronomical wonders we have been lucky…
This time I will recount events that happened a week ago. With all the mooring excitement and questions from the forum to answer, I had not gotten to write about the most amazing moonrise I have ever…
I got a lot of great questions from a chemistry teacher through our 'Ask the Team' tab who after reading the March 10 entry on data quality control titled 'Amazing discovery or data error?' wanted…
All my hopes of my body adapting to a moving world after sailing for more than four weeks crumbled the moment we encountered the first small storm after leaving the shelter of the ice field. I had to…
One of the main goals of the cruise is to monitor the uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere by the Southern Ocean. I got a question through the blog that is partially related, even if there are no…
A slow day on the Palmer as we steam from the mooring sites to the next stations. This allows me to somewhat catch up with recent events. Here is some of what happened this past Saturday.
