DEFIANT PI Jeremy Wilkinson (BAS) is in quarantine in a hotel in Cape Town, South Africa, with Povl Abrahamsen (BAS) and Robbie Mallet (UCL), who will join the PolarStern, the icebreaker of the Alfred Wegener Institute, heading South on first field season to the Weddell Sea.
The DEFIANT project has been signed off by NERC and all the project participants, and started on the 1st December 2021 – so build of buoys could get underway to be deployed in the Weddell Sea in March 2022.
More info will be added in due course, and we are in the process of developing this website. Apologies for appearance in the mean time.
