Some of our activities on the 27th April

In short, yesterday, we finished the description of the first gravity core (last sections), retrieved a short gravity core full of benthic foraminifera, opened it and described this new brownish sediment core.
We also learned how to do crazy knots with Kim :)
In the evening, we collected water from the CTD for Suzanne's colleague, Marta and Fatima. We also try to catch European eel's larva... and found all sorts of different small organisms except the precious ones.... :(

On the left, Kim our knot teacher, with Melanie, Maria, Peter and Anna-Marie. On the right, Christof and Diego opening a new core section. On the bottom, a section of the core full of foram (concentrated especially in the lighter part).
