Daily Updates
The science party will post updates about their research here once we reach our study sites. We should arrive at Rainbow vents around July 15th, where we stay on station for about 10 days. We will then head up to the Lucky Strike vent fields and spend 4 days sampling at these sites (MOMAR Background data and figures). On the 28th of July, several of the scientists will disembark onto a small boat from the Azores, Portugal on the R/VArquipelago. Three of the scientists onboard the R/VArquipélago will join the R/V Revelle. We will then head south to Lost City vents for 2 days of diving, after which we head to Snake Pit vents for 3 additional dives. Finally, we will head back to Miami, Florida around August 8th.
