RV Natsushima cruise NT14-07

On April 22nd 2014 the cruise NT14-07 on RV Natsushima started from the port of Shimizu. During the expedition we could collect for the second time various water and sediment samples for noble-gas analysis in the region of the Nankai Trough using the ROV Hyper-Dolphin.

As the weather conditions were almost perfect, we could disembark at the port of Shimonoseki on April 29th 2014 (i.e., one day earlier than expected). More pictures can be found under Expeditions.

On April 1st 2014 the members of the Marine Analytical Chemistry group enjoyed the full cherry blossom along the Sumida river (隅田川) close to Asakusa (Tokyo). After sunset we had dinner at Komagata Dojou (駒形どぜう) and, as the name of the restaurant implies, we discovered dojou (Japanese loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) in form of a dojou nabe.
