The sea-surface is fascinating

Wow! I am very very happy to see that support and attention our project raised lately. I am really glad. Our hypothesis is that something special is happening at the sea-surface - the hair of the water - and micro plastics have a role in it. Just wanted to share some news with you. I am a big fan of the sea-surface (well I did all my PhD thesis on it, spent hours sampling from the Arctic to the Pacific Ocean, nights in the lab..I have to love it after all) and I can say it is fascinating. It's there, during calm days you do really see a surface slick, and I am looking forward to our experiment in Crete to test the micro plastics hypotheses. So to understand more of it, I am now joining an international team of really great people all studying the surface during the day, and during the night. Each one of us is looking at different things: organic material, biology, gas fluxes, sea-spray aerosols, surface-active material. I really think the work we are doing right now will give more insights into the natural functioning of the sea-surface, to get a better preparation and understanding for the experiment in Greece. Thanks again to all our backers! Please help us share this project among your network to reach out as many people as possible! Thanks!
