IMBER endorsement

The IMBER (Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research) endorsement sub-committee sent us a letter last week informing about their acceptance of the LUCIFER project. The endorsement will serve to help coordinate national and regional IMBER research activities and to share data among scientists. It will also serve as a recognition that our objectives are under the umbrella of IMBER international project. If you are interested in looking at the endorsed projects by IMBER please visit http://www.imber.info/endorsed_projects.html.

Below are some pictures of the sampling activities carried out recently on board the "Atlantic Explorer". Thanks to Alejandro Ariza for the photos.
