Dear ${member.firstname},


Scientists from Earthwatch have uncovered signs of an oil leak from a wreck in Chuuk Lagoon, featured in the current BBC TV series, Pacific Abyss.

 

This is just one of the stories in your news-packed September bulletin. You might also like to read about our work at Wytham Woods, the base for an ambitious global climate change research programme.

 

Finally, if you're looking for something to do to brighten up those autumn evenings, come along and share a drink with us at our October lecture at the Royal Geographical Society.

 

See you there!

 

Best wishes, 

Jane Nijssen

Sounds glamorous, an Earthwatch expedition? On my expedition to Alaska I toughed out endless rain and some ferocious mosquitoes, but it was an amazing trip. Put it this way, I wish I could go back next year.
