Great Barrier Reef Environmental Changes Expedition - Expedition 325
Prior to each mission-specific platform expedition, a Press Conference is held at which media representatives have the opportunity to meet the Co-chief scientists and members of the ESO team.
The GBREC Expedition Press Conference took place in the Jupiters Townsville Hotel, Townsville, Australia on Thursday 11th February 2010. A news release was issued to coincide with the Press Conference.
Daily progress reports from the Greatship Maya.
During the expedition, the team will send daily progress reports from the ship giving details of the vessel’s location, weather and progress.
An Expedition Logbook is maintained giving informal descriptions of life onboard the ship. An example of the type of information can be seen on the logbook page for the previous MSP expedition off the coast of New Jersey.A selection of photographs from the expedition will be made available in the Photo Gallery (see New Jersey example). If you would like to use these or see other photographs from the MSPs, please contact Alan Stevenson.
Posters explaining the IODP and the work that the scientists are carrying out in Australia is on public display at Reef HQ in Townsville during the expedition.
Following the offshore operations, the GBREC onshore science party will take place at the Bremen Core Repository in July 2010. Media representatives who would like to arrange to visit the onshore science party or interview the scientists about their work should contact Albert Gerdes.
