🌊 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧 Two members of the EMSO research community took part in the RV Meteor M216 cruise, a nearly month-long scientific expedition across the Mediterranean Sea—from Cyprus to the Strait of Gibraltar. Led by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel aboard the German research vessel RV Meteor, the mission brought together an international team to assess the physical and biogeochemical state of the Mediterranean Sea. 🔬 The cruise was part of Mediterranean Sea Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (Med-SHIP), contributing to global efforts under Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) to monitor long-term ocean changes and understand the impacts of climate change. Among the participants: • Vanessa Cardin (OGS – EMSO Southern Adriatic) • Thibaut Wagener (CNRS – EMSO Ligurian Sea) #EMSO #OceanScience #MediterraneanSea #ClimateChange #MarineResearch #MedSHIP
