The Ocean Race 2027 will start from its home port of Alicante, Spain, in January 2027 and take the foiling, flying, high-tech IMOCA fleet out of the Mediterranean Sea, down the Atlantic and into the Southern Ocean before rounding Cape Horn and returning to Europe via the Americas. Learn more
Lucie is a researcher interested in the ocean carbon cycle, ocean acidification, carbonate chemistry and science communication. Currently located in Kiel, Germany, Lucie joined GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung to work on the TRICUSO project in August, 2025.
TRICUSO aims to expand observation capacity in the vast Southern Ocean, home to consortium partner South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI). Based in the Falkland Islands, SAERI operates the research vessel Pharos, which will be used in TRICUSO for the deployments of floats and a wave glider, and their flights. We asked CEO Paul Brickle to share some thoughts on the vast waters down under and why TRICUSO is an important project.
TRICUSO colleagues Cathy Wimart-Rousseau, Pablo Trucco-Pignata (NOC) and Louise Delaigue (Sorbonne University) will be co-chairing a session: The Southern Ocean Carbon Sink: processes, observations, and change on 24 February at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow, Scotland.
