The EMSO Generic Instrument Module, #EGIM, was deployed for 5 months at the Norwegian Sea to test #pCO2 sensors developed in the GEORGE project. The platform was recovered from its measuring depth of 2000 meters in early March. Take a look at how the recovery operation went in the video below! 👀 🌊

‘When I had the opportunity as a young graduate to start working in the field, I said “this is the job I want to do”’ Paloma Ocean station, Italy, is run by devoted scientists who conduct measurements in the under-sampled Mediterranean. Watch the #ExploreICOS video: www.icos-cp.eu/exploreicos-...
