Dr. Speer and the UK-1 DIMES (JC41) Cruise through the western Drake Passage Dr. Speer is completing a successful cruise aboard the RRS James Cook. The central goal of the cruise was to deploy 9 moorings in 4 distinct areas. Six of the moorings will be deployed in a cluster of 15 km diameter in the northern Drake Passage. Their main purpose is to investigate how the energetic mesoscale eddies of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) are dissipated, and how they interact with the regional internal wave field. For more information, visit the DIMES website. Oceanography professors to lead 'Mercury Project' Dr. William Landing and Dr. Philip Froelich have received two $500,000 grants and will lead a team of researchers to study how mercury is oxidized in the atmosphere and deposited to water bodies in order to predict the danger it poses when it gets into the food chain.
