This record describes the End of Voyage (EOV) data archive from the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2021_T01, titled "Transit: Brisbane to Darwin". The voyage took place from Brisbane (QLD) to Darwin (NT) between June 10th (AEST) and June 23rd (ACST), 2021.
There were seven projects on this voyage:
• Microplastics in the food chain: impact on the microbial and planktonic organisms;
• Linking the Biological Carbon Pump flux to microbial colonisation of sinking particles in the Southern Ocean in the Coral Sea;
• Dinoflagellates & broader planktonic assemblage observation;
• BGC-Argo Float Deployment;
• Cosmic Ray Measurements;
• Carbon Sampling; and
• Flow cytometric classification of the phytoplankton community across Australia’s top end
For further information please refer to the voyage documentation links.

The archive for the IN2021_T01 EOV raw data is curated by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart, with a permanent archive at the CSIRO Data Access Portal (DAP, https://data.csiro.au/dap/), providing access to voyage participants and processors of the data collected on the voyage.
All voyage documentation is available electronically to MNF support via the local network. Access to voyage documentation for non-CSIRO participants can be made via NCMI_DataLibrarians@csiro.au.
