SEALS
(Sediment Exchange Along the Labrador Sea)
June-July 2025
We are a group of 29 researchers from 12 institutions onboard R/V Roger Revelle, managed by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. For 5 weeks in June/July 2025, we will be collecting water and sediment samples around the Labrador Sea. These samples will be used to understand the role of marine sediment in controlling seawater chemistry. Follow updates from this research expedition here!
The science team thanks National Science Foundation (NSF) programs: Marine Geology and Geophysics and Chemical Oceanography.
