PROJETO MERCANTAR 2015-16: Day 2

João Canário
Deception Island

On day 1, five sites were sampled along the Port Foster Bay, two more than it was previously expected. Therefore, additional incubation work had to be done in the laboratory.
Thus, and since the weather was very bad, we decided to stay at the station performing incubations and analysing the data collected with the multiparametric probe from last day.

Therefore, on day 2, in the laboratory, Hg stable isotopes work continued and also other trace-elements were analysed in water samples. Additionally, samples (water and sediments) for microbiology were processed.
The 75-m probe cable were tested for day 3 for the survey in the Bay.
