At approximately 10:06 am this morning Amsterdam time, #Exp403 officially came to an end, and with it the U.S. scientific ocean drilling program. Here’s the last time scientists will walk the gangway leaving @TheJR

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.

AGU's Eos@AGU_Eos5 Dec 2023
New research from Brian Tucholke & Deborah Smith @WHOI and @Ross_PT @Scripps_Ocean shows that magma supply—not the rate of seafloor spreading—is the strongest predictor for how seafloor morphology is formed. #AGUPubs eos.org/research-spotlights/…

Seafloor Shapes on the Flanks of Mid-Ocean Ridges Linked to Magma Supply - Eos

New research suggests the source of morphologic variation on mid-ocean ridges might be deeper than scientists thought.

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/pixNfgRgk7vmfsj8A

An update for those who signed our letter to @NSF 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. – at Providence, RI

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

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

These glittery calcite crystals grew in a crack in the 32 million year old basalt we cored on ocean drilling ship @TheJR this week. Water depth: 2.2 km Rock depth: 1.1 km Ships capable of doing this after 2024: 0 #Exp395 #IODP
Calcite crystals from basalt rocks cored in the North Atlantic Ocean during International Ocean Discovery Project Expedition 395, in August 2023.

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 @TheJR. Now we need to change the bit for a new one before it wears out, so that we can get more core! #Exp395 #IODP
