Over 59 hrs 40 mins, this drill bit cut through 1039 m of rock, spanning 32 million yrs of geologic time on the way to volcanic basement, 3 km below our ship JOIDES Resolution. Now we need to change the bit for a new one before it wears out, so that we can get more core! #Exp395 #IODP

These glittery calcite crystals grew in a crack in the 32 million year old basalt we cored on ocean drilling ship JOIDES Resolution this week. Water depth: 2.2 km Rock depth: 1.1 km Ships capable of doing this after 2024: 0 #Exp395 #IODP

Scientific ocean drilling folks! Please consider signing and sharing our letter to U.S. National Science Foundation detailing why we need concrete commitments now to support our field given the rapidly approaching retirement of JOIDES Resolution Academic Chatter™ IODP at Texas A&M docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university. American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀 Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

Quick display of IMO's earthquake locations the last 6hrs using map.is. A good,free tool to play with. It certainly looks like a dyke intrusion propagating both SW and NE from Svartsengi. Note that seismicity indicates that the dyke reaches under Grindavík town

An update for those who signed our letter to U.S. National Science Foundation asking them to support the scientific ocean drilling community in the U.S.: Director McManus sent us a reply, detailing much of the same we’ve been hearing— the future of our field remains uncertain.

Do you study mid-ocean ridges? There's a townhall for you at #AGU23! Meet your colleagues, hear from funding agencies, and bring ideas on working together. Share your input: forms.gle/pixNfgRgk7vmfs…

New research from Brian Tucholke & Deborah Smith Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Ross Parnell-Turner Scripps Institution of Oceanography shows that magma supply—not the rate of seafloor spreading—is the strongest predictor for how seafloor morphology is formed. #AGUPubs eos.org/research-spotl…

China will conduct the 1st sea trial of its self-developed and world's most advanced ocean-drilling research vessel, Mengxiang, in S China's Guangzhou on Dec 22. The ship, with a max range of 15,000 nmi, can operate for 120 consecutive days and drill in waters as deep as 11,000m.

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the core? Let me show you where the core from #EXP395 ended up! #IODP #NSFFunded
