Man the Ice Tongue!

My name is Hannah Organ, and I am a PhD student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. I am in the isotope core lab as Dr. Coffin’s student. I am excited to say that this is my third cruise to the Ross Sea on the NBP studying methane. This trip will include sediment coring and sampling along the sample sites predetermined by geophysical data collected last year. In my spare time, I love to go hiking, visit the beach, and hang out with my cats. I also love to spend time with my friends and family back home.

Today, the marine techs have been preparing the back deck for science operations, which gave us an opportunity to see the Nordenskjold Ice Tongue! We are supposed to be stationed here for about 10 hours before we begin the next science operation. Soon, we will be coring and hopefully finding methane! Until then, here is a photo of me in front of the ice tongue!
