We said we'd be following @holivarez19 to sea and here we go! Like others on board, Holly is allotted just 150 mb of data per day so we'll make the most of it. #goship_a20_a22 #holivarezatsea

The ship Holly is on, the R/V Thomas G. Thompson, is sailing to where they'll start taking measurements off the coast of Aruba. Over the next month, the ship will head north to Woodshole, MA, stopping 93 times to collect water and nutrient samples. #goship_a20_a22 #holivarezatsea

Scientists get the water samples using a big instrument called a rosette. They carefully lower it to the ocean floor while collecting water samples at assigned depths, then bring it back up. The deepest sample they'll collect from is 7900 meters! #goship_a20_a22 #holivarezatsea

That's it for now, but you'll see more from @holivarez19 as events warrant (and bandwidth allows). 🌊🚢

@Sara_Sayedi

Hi, I’m Sara Sayedi @Sara_Sayedi, a PhD student @BYU at @thermokarst lab. I use expert knowledge/ judgment to see how different Earth systems will interact with #climatechange and provide policy-relevant information. #gueSTAAR

Before coming to the States for graduate school, I lived in Iran where I studied environmental science and management. During my MSc studies, the question that became most interesting for me was, how can we include the latest Earth science in decision making processes?

@PermafrostCN

For my PhD, I work with different scientific communities (e.g. @PermafrostCN and @PaleofireWG) to answer questions that are interesting to the public and policy makers about different Earth systems.

Bruce Vaughn, who runs our Stable Isotope Lab at INSTAAR, is also a volunteer firefighter with the Four Mile Fire Protection District, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just west of Boulder. #INSTAARsafterhours

He spent the weekend at the fire station on alert, monitoring and helping to coordinate Four Mile resources, as fires throughout Colorado including the East Troublesome and CalWood fires blew up.

“There’s nothing like a fire to motivate volunteers,” he said. 22 years ago a bunch of volunteers from the District put out a fire close to Bruce’s mountain home. “I took down a couple coolers of sodas and asked if they needed help.” He’s been a volunteer firefighter ever since.

Hi, we’re Kerry Koepping and Andrea Sparrow, some of the executive team members of the Arctic Arts Project. We’re part of a network of photographers, working in the #Arctic, who try to bring home an understanding of #climatechange through our work. #SciArt #gueSTAAR

We’re on a mission to provide visual storytelling that helps people understand the evolution of our warming world. We want to generate impactful imagery that is given context by current science. #seethingsdifferently #BenElkins

@INSTAAR

That’s why Kerry is an affiliate of @INSTAAR--we work closely with scientists because we need to get it right. We want to embed climate science into compelling stories. @KKoepping #BenElkins
