The focus of this voyage is to improve the inter-comparability between seawater macronutrient datasets, to learn from each other, and to share knowledge gained with the broader community.
The key areas of the shipboard training, supervised by Dr Julie Janssens (CSIRO) include biogeochemistry, nutrient analysis and methods, data analysis and processing, statistics, Southern Ocean and repeat hydrography/datasets
Trainees took part in pre- and post-cruise activities at CSIRO in Hobart, Australia. The pre-cruise preparation took place from the 29th of May to the 4th of June 2023; in this phase the trainees participated in the cruise preparations and become familiar with the analytical techniques. After the expedition the trainees attended the Ocean Nutrient Symposium on the 20th of June. In the post-expedition phase, from the 21st of June to the 14th of July, the trainees analysed samples, processed and analysed the data and interpreted the results. The complete training was held from 29th of May to 14th of July 2023.
