Learning from the past: Thomas Westerhold presenting #CENOGRID legacy data of #ScientificDrilling and lots of #TheJR during ECORD Distinguished Lecurer Program - clear message #KeepDrilling
Dr. Or M. BialikAug 10, 2023
Over the years, #ScientificDrilling by #TheJR, JAMSTEC's #Chikyu and ECORD's MSP have recovered nearly 500km of cores. It's time to revisit some of these old cores in the archives with new questions and new tools.
At the end of August, the 1st RECORD expedition will visit the Kochi core repository to do just that - expect updates!

These scientific drilling operations is where we get most of our knowladge about past ocean and climate (for the last ~100Myr).

What's the story with #theJR?
#IODP now has three operations: the European-led Mission Specific Platform, targeting mostly shallow water and continental margins. The Japanese-operated Chikyu Hakken for sensitive pressure drilling, that does not venture far from the Japanese EEZ.
And there is the US-operated JR that does everything else everyehre else.
