The ocean keeps bringing back super old yogurt cups. This one is from Frigo and has a logo that was used in the 60s 😱

The ocean keeps bringing back super old yogurt cups. This one is from Frigo and has a logo that was used in the 60s 😱
A couple of years ago I found at the beach a yogurt cup in almost perfect state with a logo probably from the 80s. Just a couple of days ago, I found the same type of cup at the beach but completely shrunk! I would love to know where they have been hiding all this time and what happened to them!

I am shocked by the sexism of Google search! 😠
I was looking for an article of my colleague Claudia Wienberg, which google found very well. Actually all the searches are correct, but it asked me if I meant Claude Weinberg! Only man can do research? I only find a chiropractor under this name.

We are back at sea 🌊 We are participating in the MSM133 cruise on board the R/V Maria S. Merian offshore Mauritania to investigate how particles (inorganic and organic particles and microplastics) get transported from the shelf to the deep sea.

🚨Paper alert🚨Pelle Adema did fantastic flume experiments that show the 3D flow structure of turbidity currents and combined turbidity current-contour current flows. Contour currents collapse the bi-cellular structure of turbidity currents and modulate overspilling 👇

While shooting some seismic, we are starting to get ready for our first mooring deployment in the Bengal fan. Today we even saw a 🐢 swimming next to the ship. The bay of Bengal is bringing a lot of surprises 😊

For the next 40 days, we will be studying the Bengal Fan, one of the largest turbidite systems in the world! We will investigate how sediments and other particles such as microplastics and organic carbon are tranfered from the continent to the deep sea. We will keep you updated 😉
