An expedition to study coastal ecosystems and their response to the environment, from molecules to communities

“With the Foundation’s backing, principles at the heart of TREC – open data, standardised protocols, and shared analytical approaches – are being adopted across new countries & continents,” said Paola Bertucci, Head @embl.org Scientific Expeditions. Check out this great article on labs on wheels!

With its scientific expeditions, EMBL is pioneering a new era of field-based molecular life sciences. 🚌🔬

Supported by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung & many partners, these ‘labs on wheels’ enable the study of life in context across Europe, with a view to global impact. 🌍🧬

From the TREC Blog "My father passed away while I was working on TREC. Doing the work with others gave me the strength to carry on until I could return home to be with my family. It was a very sad time, but showed me how important this project & these people had become"

Check out this great article on the Curiosity microscope, used by @embl.org & BIOcean5D to empower teachers to share excitement of plankton discovery with their students! "The Curiosity microscope is fantastic because it will enable us to bring the classroom to the sampling site”

Coastal sediments lining Europe’s shores hold a hidden archive of microbial biodiversity, past & present. As part of the TREC expedition, scientists collected samples from coastal sites across the continent. Meet Raffaele Siano, who leads TREC's work on coastal sediments www.embl.org/about/info/t...

The kindness of strangers: TREC collaborator Sirje Sildever (Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia) recalls asking organisations if she could set up air sampling stations on the tops of their buildings "Many people were surprised, but they were very accommodating!"

EMBL's TREC expedition wouldn't have been possible without its partners.

We spotlight some valuable collaborators, such as the Tallinn University of Technology, #Estonia. We spoke to Sirje Sildever, Assistant Professor @TallinnTech:

It's #WorldOceanDay – this year’s theme is: ‘Wonder: sustain what sustains us’. One key force sustaining ocean life is microbes. With @embl.org TREC we explored this hidden universe along Europe's coasts, across water, sediment and soil to see how microbial life connects across ecosystems and biomes
