Subsampling at Geoscience Australia

From February 18 - February 22, a group of members from Yokoyama Lab went to Canberra, Australia for a research trip. Our main purposes were to collect samples from marine sediment cores extracted from the Sabrina Coast, Antarctica and to meet with other scientists to discuss research results and future research prospects. 

First meeting at Geoscience Australia

We first met with Leanne Armand and Alix Post at Geoscience Australia to discuss the cores we were interested in sampling and the analyses we expect to do. We will use Compound Specific Radiocarbon dating to create an age model as well as beryllium isotope ratios to determine periods of meltwater release or changes in ocean currents. After a brief presentation and discussion, we began to sample the two cores. 

Subsampling one of the cores

Many hands make light work, and it only took two days to finish sampling the two cores at Geoscience Australia. The remainder of our time in Canberra was spent working on our projects or in meetings, each of us meeting with different scientists whose research is similar to our own. I joined the meeting with Duanne White and his PhD student Matt at the University of Canberra to present my research results as well as learn about Matt’s research. It was a productive discussion which gave us a lot to think about. 

On our last evening there, our good friend Pengxiang treated a few of us to a buffet dinner followed by a lovely sunset view from Mount Ainslie. It was wonderful to see her again, and we all enjoyed the evening.

サロマ湖観測

こんにちは、修士1年の清水です。

2/21~27の期間で北海道のサロマ湖観測に参加してきましたので、その様子を紹介したいと思います。

今回私が訪れたサロマ湖はオホーツク海に面しており、冬の間は湖面が結氷します。滞在中の気温は基本的に氷点下を下回っており、最低気温が-20℃近くまで下がることもありました。ただし地元の人によれば0℃ぐらいだと"ポカポカ"らしいです笑。

一面に湖氷が広がっている

今回の観測に参加した目的は、海氷観測の方法について学ぶこととサロマ湖の湖氷コアを採取することでした。調査期間中は北見工業大学の舘山一孝准教授の研究室に観測メンバーとして加えていただき、様々な観測に携わる機会を与えていただきました。また計10本の氷厚30~50cmの湖氷コアをサンプリングすることができたので、今後こちらの研究室で湖氷中の10Beを分析する研究を進めていきたいと考えています。

宿に戻った後は北見工業大学の皆さんと交流する場面が多々あり、飲み会で地元や大学の話など様々な話題（あとやけにリアルな怪談話とか）で盛り上がったり、オセロで遊んだりして楽しかったです。
また牡蠣パーティーに参加したり、砕氷船に乗って流氷を観察したりする機会もあり、充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
