We arrived at the Umnak Plateau this afternoon and are anxiously awaiting the first core. As one of eight sedimentologists on this leg, I know that I am about to become unbelievably busy, and this free moment feels like the quiet before the storm. We will work as 2 teams to describe every single section of every single core
