What a nice occasion\u00a0to start this blog!\u00a0The Kilo Moana, an US research vessel, will be our home for the next 30 days and will take us to the equatorial Pacific.<\/p>\n

Research cruises and work at sea are the only way, we can acquire high resolution data from the seafloor. So, I will use this opportunity to blog a little bit about how we map the ocean floor, and how life on board looks like.<\/p>\n

As our target area will be in the middle of the Pacific, we are starting (and ending) in Hawaii. This is indeed an enjoyable side effect; but only, if you have some time to actually do some sightseeing. If you just arrive in time to get on board, you only see the harbour and industrial sites \u2013 not really a place to be.<\/p>\n

We had about half a day to discover Honolulu, before we had to be on board. After spending the night in the harbour (yay!), we are filling the tanks now, and preparing to leave.<\/p>\n

Was eine tolle Gelegenheit diesen Blog zu beginnen!\u00a0Die Kilo Moana ist ein amerikanisches Forschungsschiff und wird f\u00fcr die n\u00e4chsten 30 Tage unser zu Hause sein.<\/p>\n

Forschungsfahrten sind bislang die einzige M\u00f6glichkeit, hochaufl\u00f6sende Daten vom Meeresboden zu erhalten. Deshalb nutze ich jetzt diese Ausfahrt, um ein wenig von unserer Arbeit auf See zu berichten, und wie es sich so auf einem Forschungsschiff lebt.<\/p>\n

Unser Zielgebiet liegt mitten im Pazifik, deshalb starten (und enden) wir in\u00a0Hawaii. Ein netter Nebeneffekt; allerdings nur, wenn man die Zeit hat, sich die Stadt bzw. die Insel anzuschauen. Wenn man sofort aufs Schiff muss, sieht man lediglich\u00a0den Hafen und Industrieanlagen \u2013 also nicht wirklich ein Premiumausblick.<\/p>\n

Wir hatten Gl\u00fcck und rund einen halben Tag in Honolulu, bevor wir an Bord mussten. Die letzte Nacht haben wir dann hier im Hafen verbracht (juhu!), wo wir jetzt tanken und dann bald in See stechen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
