I have just returned from one of my dream experiences: being at sea on a research vessel! I traveled from Bremerhaven to the Canary Islands aboard the icebreaker Polarstern during expedition PS145/1, where I participated in the Echosounding Training Cruise organized by POLMAR.
The program included lectures on the geophysical principles of echosounding, hands-on training in data acquisition, storage, and visualization using QGIS. Here there are some pictures of me engaged in these fascinating activities, including me deploying the Rosette with the CTD using the Laufkatze.
It was an incredible seagoing experience, and I am deeply grateful to AWI and POLMAR for making this possible!
