We are pleased to present the MIXSED StoryMaps, an open-access platform providing daily insights into our research campaigns. Following the successful completion of the MIXSED I expedition aboard the RV Maria S. Merian and with the MIXSED II campaign currently underway aboard the RV Odón de Buen, interested parties can follow our ongoing onboard activities.

Through daily updates, the StoryMaps platform details the sampling methodologies employed on board, the specific operations and types of sampling conducted, the primary scientific objectives of the project, and profiles highlighting the work of various crew and scientific team members.

We hope this platform offers a valuable perspective on our research operations at sea!
