After a successful first leg (despite the weather confining the ship to the Moray Firth for several days), the second leg of the RV Poseidon cruise, led by GEOMAR, set sail from Bremerhaven. On 16th October, the seabed lander was deployed on the seafloor via acoustic release. Interrogation via acoustic modem confirmed that all functions of the lander were working correctly.

The first leg of the latest STEMM-CCS related cruise set sail from Bremerhaven on 27th September aboard the RV Poseidon. After conducting a harbour trial of GEOMAR’s remotely operated vehicle PHOCA the previous day, they headed out into the North Sea where they started hydroacoustic surveys of some abandoned wells to investigate possible gas emissions. The ship is due to return to Bremerhaven…
STEMM-CCS have released their first set of science briefs, designed to provide concise, easy to understand guides to various aspects of Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage and the STEMM-CCS project.
There are five briefs including an introduction to CCS, storage reservoirs, how to establish baselines for CO2 and how to monitor storages sites. The briefs are available to…
STEMM-CCS scientists have published two peer reviewed papers over the summer.
Guttorm Alendal from the University of Bergen has published ‘Cost efficient environmental survey paths for detecting continuous tracer discharges’ which uses Bayes’ theorem and modelling to suggest strategies for defining survey paths when using autonomous vehicles to detect anomalies.…
