Cruises
AMT cruises
undertake biological, chemical and physical oceanographic research
during the annual return passage of research ships between the UK
and the Falkland Islands, South Africa or Chile, a distance of up
to 13,500km.
The transect crosses a range of ecosystems from sub-polar to
tropical and from euphotic shelf seas and upwelling systems to
oligotrophic mid-ocean gyres.
The cruises have contributed to over 200 refereed
publications and 70 PhD theses. AMT also provides training for the
next generation of scientists.
Expressions of interest are now invited for
participation in AMT cruises in 2013 and beyond, please contact
Andy Rees, apre@pml.ac.uk,
for further details.
