Class@Baikal-2016
July 22th. The here and now.
Applause, kind words, handshakes and warm friendly hug finished the 3rd Baikal expedition. Class @ Baikal officially came to an end. During the work of the expedition were selected 180 meters of sediment (92 stations), 464 samples of gas samples, 82-board profile profiler total length of 515 km. Of course, there is still a lot of work: tomography analysis, the study of the mineral composition, exploring gas geochemistry, conferences, etc. But now we are at the Lake Baikal and enjoy every minute of the rest of our trip. We hope that Baikal will take us again next year.
July 21th. Tear’s of geochemists.
Tear’s of geochemists.
Interesting fact, we - geochemists, wrote a diary in the first day on a ship, and the last day. There are having been twelve days, but they take away very fast. Our morning started as a usually - the reveille at 8 am, breakfast and all thing’s would be all rights if not only our packed boxes and bags in the laboratories.
July 20th. The skyline
Chief in the evening of the last day promised completion of the marine geology data collection at noon on 20 June. for testing of sediment Plan for the day started to operate with the height of sunny weather in the morning, and in all the main procedures involved the minimum required number of people - because soon on the beach!
July 19th
The day started badly. It was juicy and the mist swirled around the ship. That’s why everyone awoke just after breakfast and huge cup of coffee.
July 18th. Baikal Lambrusco
Toady we woke up with wonderful weather: cool temperature, clear sky and an impressive view of the mountains of the south Baikal.
July 17th. Sunday is happy day.
Last night was calm. We were tired after hard day and quickly went to sleep. Only group of geophysics was on duty and worked one by one. They were looking on profilograph.
July 16th.To catch the anniversary!
Today is July 16, and the eighth day of our expedition on Lake Baikal "Class @ Baikal". The day began earlier than usually, and promised to be saturated. Soon our research will be finish, therefore we should do all work by the plan. So gravity core lowered into the depths of the lake and we with eagerly await the start our work.
July 15th.The first leg, goodbye! The next one, hello!
The 1st leg of our expedition has finished quickly. It was full of different events. During this time almost everyone was turned into a “true marine geologist”. We took nearly 50 gravity cores and acquired new material on seeps. Everything is changing. Recently, a second methane plume has appeared on the “Krasnyi Yar” seep. That’s why we should visit that place again in a year. In fact, during all out TTR expeditions we took 190 gravity cores and 150 cores had temperature’s sensors on them to measure the temperature gradient in the sediment.
July 14th. "Save" the air of Baikal
Today we woke up with a great pleasure because we had calculated the time of sleeping beforehand. Everyone slept well and started his work. Though it seemed to us that the corer didn’t sleep well enough because we recovered only 50 cm of sediments.
