And we're done! It has been a very productive cruise, with almost all plans completed, working with a great and expert team. Now on to analysing the data we collected, and then we'll do it all again in summer on #DY213 to see how temperature and stratification affect C release.

A windy night was followed by a nice dawn and a good day of sampling. Unfortunately there is much more wind to come tonight. #DY206 #SeaSTORE
International women's day on the RRS Discovery with our great team of scientist and crew. #DY206 #SeaSTORE
Our second trawling experiment is in progress in the Western Irish Sea Mud Belt. We're quantifying the size of the plume and sampling the suspended sediment. Preliminary results from the experiment in the Clyde are looking promising! #DY206 #SeaSTORE
We picked our lander up again today, seems the weight sank quite some way into the mud. #DY206 #SeaSTORE
We had to stop work on the RRS Discovery for a few hours in the night when the wind got to 40 knots. Calm again now. #DY206 #SeaSTORE
We have been doing a 24hr intensive timeseries of profiles of turbulence using the VMP, with a CTD every 6h, to be able to quantify any movement of CO2 from the seabed to the surface. It's been a long day for the people on deck...
