I HAD TO SHOW YOU A PICTURE THAT LISA TOOK OF ME WITH THE RED-TAILED TROPIC BIRD. AFTER COLLEGE, I WORKED WITH A BIRD BIOLOGIST ON MIDWAY ISLAND WHICH IS NORTHWEST OF HAWAII.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE FAR OUT IN THE OCEAN, WE SOMETIMES SEE BIRDS - SEA BIRDS! AT NIGHTTIME, WE HAVE LIGHTS ON THE SHIP, SO SOMETIMES THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO THE SHIP. ALSO, SINCE WE ARE THE ONLY THING THAT ISN’T WATER, SOMETIMES BIRDS LAND ON THE SHIP TO REST.

Dear Earth Scientists in Training,

What have we seen out here in the middle of the pacific ocean?  Being out on the ocean is really pretty. We have been out on the ocean for almost two months now.The last land we saw was only a couple of hours after leaving Honolulu.

Dear Earth Scientists in Training,

Here's a little more background information about the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program that involves every part of the globe.  Take a look and see what you think.  And for all the third graders and elementary students onshore, you can get your own JR tracking globe by writing to the folks at the Deep Earth Academy!

Dear Earth Scientists in Training,

In my last letter, we talked about what IODP is and the ships we use to study the Earth.  Today I have something very special about the people I sail and work with.

We have a lot to celebrate about our work between 16 March and 16 April.  This is every exciting stuff, but we're still drilling and working at Site U1336 and we'll be here for another week, give or take.

Dear Earth Scientists in Training,
 
Before I tell you a little more about the ship, I thought I’d show you a few things about what the IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program) is all about. I think you learned a lot about this on your IODP field trip, but I’ve got a few cool pictures to show you.

Dear Earth Scientists in Training,

I left College Station in early March to go meet our ship the JOIDES Resolution. Since you and all of your classmates had a fun field trip to IODP and learned about what we do at the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, I wanted to share some stories and pictures of the adventure I am having right now on the ship.

Rad-ical Science Update(s)

Don't forget all of our science reports are available on the IODP website.  Here's what's been happening over the last few days.  If you're not into oozes and chalk, you may find these kind of weird.  Enjoy and keep those comments and quesitons coming!     Adam
