Moonlighting in the microfossil lab on Exp401 - foram washing takes me back to year 1 of grad school in @pdemenocal.bsky.social lab. Playing with mud and sprayers is always fun!

What is the JR Exp401 currently drilling? Hole B to fill gaps in recovery from Hole A including the mission critical Messinian.🤞 All we want for Xmas is a complete record of MSC. ⚒️

@melissaberke.bsky.social and I worked tag team around the clock to do all the coulometry on the first hole of #Exp401 #IMMAGEland2sea. Weighing on waves requires patience, which apparently we both have lots of!

#TheJR is looking pretty festive as we hear up to head out of Amsterdam on #Exp401. I am working the night shift 🧪 in the chemistry lab at sea for the next 2 months, phase 1 of #IMMAGEland2sea ⚒️ #NSFfunded

Proud to be part of the research surrounding this intriguing topic. It’s a privilege to collaborate with such distinguished scientists and explore the complexities of the Mediterranean-Atlantic gateway together.

Scientists from IODP Exp. 401 gathered in Granada, Spain for a post-cruise meeting to share results and discuss future work. Exp. 401, Mediterranean–Atlantic Gateway Exchange, aimed to understand the causes and impacts of the Messinian Salinity Crisis.
