Not just hands-on science during #IODP3NSF #Exp501: a huge part of the work happens behind the scenes, deep in reports and documentation. Science doesn’t exist without the paperwork.

Devil is in the detail: Report Writing during X501 Onshore Operations (OnO)

Three A4 sheets appear on the whiteboard, strategically positioned beside the coffee, tea, and snacks, ensuring they are impossible to ignore. Each sheet contains a table detailing the writing resp…

We’re in our final days of the onshore phase of #IODP3NSF #Exp501, but we haven’t yet shared what happens to the “working half.” Once split, it becomes the focus of intense sampling and analysis, helping us unlock the story hidden beneath the seafloor➡️ https://expedition501.wordpress.com/2026/02/10/the-core-flow-the-journey-of-the-working-half/

The Core Flow: The journey of the working half

When sediment cores come up from the deep sea, they’re carefully split in two. We’ve already talked about the archive half, the side that’s stored at the Bremen Core Repository for future research.…

The Bloody Core …

Profanities have no place in IODP3, and the code of conduct is taken seriously by everyone on board. Language, however, has a habit of finding small gaps. Mild intensifiers do sometimes slip throug…

Looking back: What was it really like for operations Manager Leo Barbosa?

Before IODP3-NSF Expedition 501, all my offshore experience had been on oil and gas rigs and never for longer than 14 days at a time. So the thought of living and working on an offshore vessel for …
