Carnet de Mission Rencontres est un format complémentaire à Carnet de Mission qui vous présente plus en détails les protagonistes de l’aventure Kerguelens. Une ouverture sur les différentes vocations que l’on croise sur la route des Terres Australes Françaises !…
Que faisons-nous? Nous sommes à bord du JCR, le James Clark Ross, un navire de recherche océanographique Britannique, qui doit son nom à un explorateur polaire Anglais. Le but de notre mission est de faire un inventaire, une liste, de…
Seawater of the Future? This post is a press release from the University of Otago related to White Island expedition, to which the Marine Biology Lab of the ULB is participating. In the first week of December a team of…
We’re just back from the Sørfjord, Norway, where we collected a series of samples to monitor the contamination status, and to carry out acidification experiments. Our teams have been working in the Sørfjord since 1995. The fjord is located in South-West Norway and has two…
The acidification experiment on the sea urchins is now running rather smoothly. An aquarium system has been set up and the Aquatronica material is doing a very good job for controlling the pH. The first results indicate that Sterechinus neumayeri…
The vERSO team has finally arrived at the Dumont D’Urville station (Terre Adélie, Antarctica), after crossing the Southern Ocean onboard the IPEV’s RV Astrolabe. Here are their first impressions (translated from French): “I’m finally installed at the Dumont d’Urville (DDU) station…
Last week, Philippe Dubois headed South, on an expedition to the Dumont D’Urville station, managed by the french IPEV. Together with Loïc Michel, from the University of Liège, the team will be running ecophysiology experiments and collecting samples for trophic…
A small team from the BIOMAR Lab set a research mission to the Bay of Portman, Spain. The team was composed of Philippe Pernet (technician), three master students (Valérie Rossez, Andrea Garvetto and Maxime Coupremanne) under the supervision of Bruno…
Tomorrow, we’re leaving for Portman, Spain for a sampling mission. We’ll be collecting samples for microbiology, ecotoxicology and habitat mapping. We’ll be using scuba diving and the Lab’s micro-ROV for this purpose. We hope to be able to screen the…
Nous avons réalisé les derniers traits d’AGT (AGT=Agassiz trawl ou chalut Agassiz) dans le Détroit de Bransfield, à l’ouest de la Péninsule antarctique. Nous y avons comparé trois stations, chacune comportant quatre sites de prélèvement, s’étageant entre 150 (plateaux) et…
