In the meantime, besides all the crater stories of the last few days, we continue drilling on Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 405 offshore Japan. Check out the video below to see what we're doing here: youtu.be/noEBFf2x7xU?si… ECORD IODP at Texas A&M UK-IODP

Great article in the Guardian on the JOIDES Resolution and its huge contribution to our understanding the Earth over the last 40 years. Such a major loss, without any replacement for the next 10 years at least... theguardian.com/environment/20…

Any marine scientists with a PhD looking for a job - check this out. This looks like an amazing, unique job, based in the best city in the world (at least, according to TimeOut magazine in 2022!)

Mw 6.4 earthquake here in Taiwan half an hour ago. Ground shaking for a good 20 seconds up here in Zhongli (west of Taipei). Heavy ground shaking around the epicentre according to this map - hope not too much damage
