Feeling the heat
EPOC scientists develop a powerful new tool for monitoring changes in ocean heat distribution, important for understanding ocean circulation and its role in shaping climate.
New biogeochemical sensors deployed in the Fram Strait
As part of the annual Fram Strait 2025 cruise conducted by the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), the science team from the UK’s National Oceanography Centre deployed a new suite of autonomous Lab-on-Chip (LoC) sensors on long-term moorings in the East Greenland Current.
EPOC welcomes a new partner to the project
EPOC is delighted to welcome a new partner – Havstovan, the Faroe Marine Research Institute – to the project team. Made possible by a grant from the EU’s ‘Hop-On Facility’, the Havstovan team will contribute time series data on the main exchanges across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge, as well as investigation of possibilities to close the largest gap in the existing observational system.
RV Meteor heads for Flemish Cap
The German research vessel Meteor has set sail from Ponta Delgada in the Azores on its expedition to Flemish Cap and Grand Banks in the NW Atlantic. Here, over a period of 4 weeks, the team on board will make new observations of the dynamic oceanographic conditions in this region.
EPOC gears up for its summer 2025 expedition season
As many people around Europe start to wind down for the summer holidays, the EPOC science teams are gearing up for the research cruise season. Three expeditions are on the calendar for the July – October period, starting with a month-long mission to the Flemish Cap region of the NW Atlantic, setting sail in late July.
