JR Expedition 301

My First Expedition--Central America, 2004

Submitted by Matt Niemitz on Tue, 02/03/2009 - 15:36

My first cruise on the JOIDES Resolution was in September of 2004. We left rainy Astoria, Oregon and sailed south toward our final destination of Panama City, Panama. We reached our site off the coast of Costa Rica, where we were set to recover instrumentation from a borehole that had been collecting water samples for the last year and half.

IODP Expedition 301 started in Astoria, Oregon, on 27 June 2004 and ended in Astoria, Oregon, on 21 August 2004.

Jon Rice of Proctorsville, VT was Teacher at Sea. Check out his Teacher at Sea page here.
