Presenter

Laura Guertin, Penn State Brandywine (representing the science party for IODP Expedition 390 on JOIDES Resolution)

Webinar Description

The scientific ocean drilling vessel JOIDES Resolution sails for two-month expeditions to collect deep sea sediment and core samples in ocean basins across the globe. Scientists immediately begin their work analyzing the new cores, but the research does not stop when the JR returns to port! The materials are shipped to a core repository, where the research continues. Curious to learn more about the next steps after scientists and materials depart the JR? Join us for a follow-up live broadcast and Q&A with scientists from Expeditions 390/393 - this time, touring the Gulf Coast Repository in Texas!

Webinar Goals

Attendees will be able to:

• Define scientific ocean drilling and why it matters
• Discover the next stage of the research and storage process for cores collected at sea
• Learn how to schedule live ship-to-shore sessions for classrooms and supplement with existing online resources
