It’s all about the TEAM ???????? aboard the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough | British Antarctic Survey

Who would you want to take with you on a mission to Antarctica? People are the most important bit agrees Prof Karen Heywood, who led the mission: “You can have the best facilities in the world, but what makes a field campaign successful is the team of people.” We’re taking a final look back on the latest science mission in Antarctica with our polar research ship the Sir David Attenborough: PICCOLO! The team are investigating how carbon dioxide moves and transforms in the cold waters near Antarctica. ????️ The surface loses heat and absorbs carbon ???? Carbon is transformed by tiny plants + plankton ⬇️ They sink deep into the ocean ???? This sequesters carbon! By understanding more about this process, the researchers can improve models that make predictions about our future climate. #antarctica #goodnews #discoverearth #discoverglobe #bluecarbon
