Coring equipment…
This is a bit of a beauty shot of our new line for the piston core. Stay tuned, this line is quite important to our work on this cruise.

Check out this big wrench, and the big blue block. The block is what helps us run rope and wire over the side to deploy our coring equipment!
Big stuff, like this container, gets loaded on by crane…then lots of boxes get moved around by people. (More …)
Among the other super powers… well packed and ready for anything!
(Please also pack my best wishes 🙂
Getting everything ready to leave for 47 days at sea on the Crocca-2s expedition! Our name Crocca-2s stands for Coring to Reconstruct Ocean Circulation and Carbon-dioxide Across 2 Seas.
We set sail from Perth, Australia on Nov. 4th! Everything about working in the South Indian Ocean has the potential to be challenging, but the team is excited!
Best of luck, Professor Hartnett! Bon voyage!
