Final stop back at station C6C- the only station we hit twice. Parting shot of the R/V Pelican, to be replaced by the R/V Gilbert R. Mason in a few years. Not sure if we'll get another chance to cruise with the Pelican before the change. 😥 #micrO2respir https://lumcon.edu/2019/11/25/rcrv-naming-press-release/

Many of our sites were near platforms, providing some scenery and the occasional helicopter takeoff/landing for amusement. #micrO2respir
Gratuitous sunset/sunrise photos incoming #micrO2respir
The Baker lab was crushing the coring process. Multicore, boxcore, they all core for more core. And of course, CTD cast after cast, sometimes with a full moon above us in the early morning. #micrO2respir
Posting more photos from our #micrO2respir cruise 4. We saw what looked like a Tricho bloom a little further off shore on our way to a more southern station and got samples for another #NSFfunded grant #TRoL #lagniappe
Busy day- multiple stations. Some action shots of @jordantcoelho @zackhenning4 new postdoc @me_microbes_and and @em_aguilarpine doin work #micrO2respir #NSFfunded
Descent into hypoxia (L->R top then L->R bottom). The lower 1/3 of the water column (~6 m) had dissolved oxygen < 0.1 µg/L. Strong DCM at the thermo/oxycline and then murkiness, and a lot of big particles visible on the video. #micrO2respir #NSFfunded
Good morning #micrO2respir cruise 4 underway. Hunting microbes in hypoxic waters. #NSFfunded
More views from the third #micrO2respir cruise we’re on. CTD ops with @zackhenning4, DIY secchi disk, night shot. #thrashlab
Some alternative camera angles from the CTD and the multicorer. We're in blue water now as we're transitioning west and further off shore. #micrO2respir #thrashlab #NSFfunded
