The unique deep sea drilling ship. the “JOIDES Resolution” has returned to sea following a major refitting that took over two years. Trevor Williams of Lamont’s Borehole Research Group has already served on one “leg” and will share what it’s like to live and conduct research aboard the “new, improved JR.”
Following Trevor’s talk, we’ll explore selected educational resources created by the Deep Earth Academy, the educational program of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP.)
