News, Data and Publications
The MOO was decommissioned and removed in November 2019, at the end of the planned project timeline. We had a very successful two years in the frigid Antarctica seawater, collecting unique and important data. There were no hardware failures or insurmountable problems over the two-year deployment, despite the fact that the observatory was required to operate autonomously with no possibility of servicing the underwater equipment for 10 months at a time. We are continuing to work to publish and disseminate our exciting findings and datasets.
