Sailing up and down the Maltese coast for more than three weeks. Almost every cliff, every headland, every town seems familiar. Greeting with a friendly nod towards Valletta when it passes by once again. Recognizing the caves and collapses along the coastline, this or that building. Surprisingly often small fireworks on land can be seen at night and even more pleasing are the thunderstorm lightning flashes in the distance, which we did not need to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These were very intense and research-rich days for everyone on board, during which we were allowed to get to know different methods and each other extensively. Our research methods ranged from hydroacoustics, to Video-CTD, to streamer seismics and OBS. We continued with CSEM using the earlier on deployed OBEM\/OBMT stations and even conducted a rather spontaneous vertical dipole measurement. In order to take something home with us, naturally, we did not miss the opportunity to take some seafloor samples in form of gravity cores. (If some of these methods are still unknown to you, don&#8217;t worry, an interview-introduction of them will be available here soon) To achieve all this we worked around the clock, supporting and motivating each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC00153_JL-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC00153_JL-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC00153_JL-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC00153_JL-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC00153_JL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC00153_JL.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Hammock on top deck (Foto: Jonas Liebsch)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there were more than enough ways to reward oneself for those long working days and nights in between; whether relaxing in a hammock with the Mediterranean sunshine on the belly, a literally breathtaking after-work sport program which made dinner even more enjoyable, a nice chilled beer around sunset on the top deck, an emotional round of table soccer or a quick dive in the improvised pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A social highlight was the visit paid to us by Dr. Owen Bonnici, the Maltese Minister of Education, who was accompanied by Prof. Aaron Micallef, one of the scientific leaders of the SMART project, and Dr. Axel Steuwer, Deputy Director of the University of Malta. Obviously, they were not allowed to come on board due to the Corona-related hygiene regulations. Nevertheless, we were able to exchange gifts and some friendly chit chat. Afterwards their pilot boat stayed nearby to observe the deployment of the video CTD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC_5010_TS-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC_5010_TS-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC_5010_TS-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC_5010_TS-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC_5010_TS-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/DSC_5010_TS.jpg 1798w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dr. Owen Bonnici, Prof. Aaron Micallef and Dr. Axel Steuwer with boat chief (Foto: Thore Sager)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, the generally popular topic of conversation: weather!<br>Luckily, for most of the time, we had the best weather imaginable. This made the recovery of the equipment pretty easy going and without any major incidents. Admittedly, apart from two rainy days and a slight increase of wind and waves towards the end, we had one extraordinary weather event; a waterspout! Clearly visible, but at a safe distance, the whole spectacle could be admired from RV Sonne; dark clouds that seem to tower ever higher with a slight turbulence forming in the cloud cover. In an almost surreal way, it turned into a finger-shaped funnel, slowly stretching towards the water surface, until the actual waterspout was dancing ahead of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX0196_HH-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX0196_HH-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX0196_HH-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX0196_HH-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX0196_HH-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX0196_HH.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Water spout (Foto: Helene Hilbert)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, with the setting sun we waved goodbye to Malta and slowly started our way back.

Unsere Forschungsmethoden reichten von Hydroakustik \u00fcber Ausmessungen der Wassers\u00e4ule zu Streamer-Seismik und OBS. Weiter ging es mit CSEM mit Hilfe der fr\u00fchzeitig ausgesetzten OBEM\/OBMT-Stationen und sogar einer eher spontanen vertikalen Dipolmessung. Und um auch was mit nach Hause nehmen zu k\u00f6nnen, haben wir es uns nat\u00fcrlich nicht nehmen lassen, auch ein paar Bodenproben in Form von Kernen zu ziehen. (Sollten euch einige dieser Methoden noch unbekannt sein, keine Sorge, eine Vorstellung dieser wird hier in K\u00fcrze zu lesen sein ) Um all das zu schaffen wurde rund um die Uhr gearbeitet, sich gegenseitig unterst\u00fctzt und motiviert. Seien wir ehrlich; die K\u00fcche trug einen ma\u00dfgeblichen Teil zur Motivation bei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nat\u00fcrlich blieb es nicht aus, sich zwischenzeitig f\u00fcr die langen Arbeitstage und -n\u00e4chte zu belohnen; ob Auspannen in der H\u00e4ngematte mit der mediterranen Sonne auf dem Bauch, einem intensiven Sportprogramm zwischen Feierabend und Abendessen, einem Bierchen zum Sonnenuntergang, einer intensiven Runde Tischkicker oder einen fixen Abk\u00fchlung in den improvisierten Pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX7608_TS-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX7608_TS-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX7608_TS-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX7608_TS-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX7608_TS-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/09\/0MAX7608_TS.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>friendly chatter between Jonas Liebsch, Zahra Faghih, Henrike Timm and Timo Spiegel on the working deck during transit to the next working station (Foto: Thore Sager)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ein soziales Highlight, bildete der Besuch, der uns abgestattet wurde; Dr. Owen Bonnici, der maltesischen Bildungsminister, in Begleitung von Prof. Aaron Micallef, einem der wissenschaftlichen Leiter des SMART Projekts, und Dr. Axel Steuwer, dem Vizedirektor der Universit\u00e4t Malta.
