Our next video answering your questions is now live! Thanks to Felix who asked us: how do we dive into the water?

While we didn't dive into the water ourselves, we did deploy lots of equipment into the sea. Watch the video to find out how!

What happened to the 23 surface drifters that we released to track small scale surface ocean currents? We recovered all 23 of them!! All thanks to some excellent navigation by the officers and top notch lassoing by the deck crew!

Do you have questions for scientists who are currently at sea on a research cruise?

The team are on the RRS James Cook off the coast of Uruguay - and they're open to questions from people of all ages! πŸ§ͺ🌏🌊
