EreBUS Meteor Expedition 148/2

In July 2018, I was chief scientist onboard the R/V Meteor Expedition M148/2 Walvis Bay, Namibia to Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain. In the project “EreBUS” onboard scientists from the MPI Biogeochemistry Department, the Baltic Sea Institute (Warnemünde), ICBM U. of Oldenburg, and MARUM U. of Bremen, investigated the microbial processes producing and consuming the trace green-house gases (TGG) methane and nitrous oxide in the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS) and physical and geochemical controls regulating these processes. We used the transit from Walvis Bay to Las Palmas, Canary Islands to sample the water column and surface sediments on the Namibian shelf and across the continental margin at 18°S into deep water, and continue sampling the upper 500 m of the water column on a transect through the Angola Gyre.
