Here's a timelapse showing what our morning routine looks like as we get ready to SCUBA dive on the forereef on the north shore of the island of #Moorea. Today, there was a lot of ocean swell as you can tell by the boat rocking! #GUMPstation @BurkepileLab @vegathurberlab

Diving under the ice in #Antarctica is an almost indescribable experience. Words and photos do not do justice to the beauty of the lighting down there. On this dive we collected bryozoans for a pilot study on trophic carbon pathways @ColdDarkBenthos

Today's blog is about the three types of weather conditions we get here at #McMurdo. After commenting on how bad the weather was today - I was laughed at - and quickly informed that today was a pleasantly mild day by #Antarctica standards! Yikes! 🥶🥶🥶
