Who's who...
There are 8 scientists on board RRS Charles Darwin for the duration of the Carlsberg Ridge cruise. Find out who they are and what they do...
The team! From the back left: Chris Hunter, Andy Milton, David Clifford, Robin Brown, Paul Duncan, Tim Lebas
Middle row: Tina Hayes, Carla Sands, Sophie Pendlebury, Liz Rourke, Cap. Keith Avery (final cruise before retirement), Rex Taylor, Jeff Benson,
Front row: Geir Skogen, Bramley Murton
 |
Dr Bramley Murton, co-Chief ScientistBram is the scientist in charge of the cruise. He researches hydrothermal activity and igneous geochemistry and is based at Challenger Division in SOC. |
 |
Dr Rex Taylor, co-Chief ScientistRex is an isotope geochemist from the School of Ocean and Earth Science at SOC. He is a specialist in mantle evolution and basalt genesis. |
 |
Dr Andy MiltonAndy is an isotope geochemist from SOES, and is an expert on microanalytical geochemistry. |
 |
Tina HayesTina is a geochemistry technician, and works alongside Rex and Andy at SOC. She helps students and researchers from all over the world separate and purify geological samples, using a range of chemical techniques |
 |
Dr Tim Le BasTim is a sonar geophysicist from Challenger Division at SOC. He is an expert in seafloor data visualisation, and will be in charge of collecting and interpreting the multibeam bathymetry data which will be used to help guide the sampling activities. |
 |
David CliffordDavid is a PhD student at the School of Ocean and Earth Science (SOC), working alongside Rex Taylor. He specialises in petrology, and has just graduated from the University of Leicester. |
 |
Carla SandsCarla is a PhD student at SOC, studying the geochemistry of seawater around hydrothermal vents. |
 |
Sophie PendleburySophie is a marine biology PhD student at SOC, specialising in biological ecosystems around hydrothermal vents. She will be investigating the weird and wonderful creatures living around the vents on the Carlsberg Ridge. |
