Expedition in Nagasaki Bay
May 12th-14th 2014: During the expedition on RV Kakuyo-Maru of the Nagasaki University we collected water samples for noble-gas analysis in the Nagasaki Bay. At a specific sampling station located close to the former town of Obama we could observe (and sample) an active hydrothermal vent. More pictures can be found under Expeditions.
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.
