Icy Inverts Antarctica Cruise Nov-Dec 2013
A group of scientists studying the biology of marine invertebrate animals will board the ship
ASRV Laurence M. Gould and embark on a four-week voyage through Antarctic waters. During the cruise they will examine invertebrates (animals without backbones) living in some of the most remote,
but fastest changing, seas on the planet. The team will explore biogeographic patterns in the Bellingshausen, Amundsen, and Ross Seas. Once they return, genomic and morphological tools will be used to assess unrecognized genetic variation and patterns of relatedness between populations of marine Antarctic species.
(the Nov-Dec 2013 Cruise came to a completion on Dec 19th, 2013)
The first Icy Inverts expedition of 2013 concluded on Feb. 11th, 2013. Read about it here.
