Indeed, the biggest blow for earth scientists ever! But also for ocean scientists, life scientists ... you name it! The ۟ is in perfect condition to sail four more years #JR4moreyears so that NSF can help this huge community to build a new global drilling vessel #NewJR!

Woohoo!!!!! Teresa Ubide has been announced as the winner of the prestigious Anton Hales Medal from the Australian Academy of Science. This is so deserved- Teresa is an amazing scientist and person. Huge congratulations Teresa!

Plenty of space to chat and relax (& grab some free swag) at the ANZIC/AuScope booth! #AESC2023

"15-20 years eliminates people's careers" "Not seeing riserless drilling again for 15-20 years is describing shutting down an entire field of science" Peggy Delaney's comments from this morning's Town Hall meeting with U.S. National Science Foundation are still resonating in my head #IODP

Very impressive outcrop of the Permian Triassic Boundary north of Wollongong, Australia, the boundary is just above the black coal beds. It marks the largest Mass extinction event ever recorded with 90% of all marine and 70% of all terrestrial families going extinct. (1/n)

The cause of this event was the massive release of CO2 associated with Volcanism. Although the total volume of the CO2 emmissions were much higher, than those caused by anthropogenic activities, our emmission rate (Gt/year) is estimated to be 100 times faster

🎉HUGE NEWS Australia will continue in global #ScientificDrilling initiatives beyond 2024! 🤝We're excited to join the #NCRIS AuScope family to create new opportunities for Australian-based scientists & educators. 👏Progress built on decades of #IODP support from Australian Research Council
