The RRS James Cook has returned to Southampton, marking the end of a 24-day expedition to the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, where GEORGE technologies tested in deep-sea conditions. Welcome back, everyone! 🚢 Over the coming months, the GEORGE teams will be analysing the data. Stay tuned for more updates!

Good news for data quality: GEORGE has developed a sampler for validating autonomous inorganic carbon measurements over long deployments. Last week at the PAP site in NE Atlantic, samplers were installed on a buoy for their 1st real-world test. Samples will be preserved for months for lab analysis💧

Last week, the EMSO Generic Instrument Module (EGIM) seabed lander was successfully deployed at the PAP site in NE Atlantic, with new TA, DIC, pH & pCO₂ sensors developed & optimised in GEORGE. The EGIM was lowered to 4,850 m, where it will remain for a year to perform autonomous measurements 🌊

News from the PAP site in the Northeast Atlantic 🌊Two #SEAEXPLORER gliders, fitted with new TA and pH sensors developed in GEORGE, have been profiling the water to 1000 m for the past 11 days. Data are being validated against ship and mooring sensors. Recovery planned for tomorrow, 17 June 🚢👏

GEORGE contributed to several side events at UN Ocean Conference. Our panel events delved into autonomous observing technologies, mCDR, and need of quality ocean carbon data. Thank you to everyone involved for a successful week! 🌊 #UNOC3 #UNOceanConference #HorizonEurope

@biogeosensing.bsky.social team has been celebrating #WordOceansDay 🌊 Team members were at the @noc.ac.uk #OpenDay while others have been testing new technology on board of #RRSJamesCook 🚢 @george-project.bsky.social @ifremer.bsky.social #Alseamar
