376</a> collected core and borehole data from various sites in Brothers volcano. Brothers volcano, located approximately 300 miles northeast of New Zealand and more than 4,000 feet under the ocean surface, formed at a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate and Australian Plate are colliding together, and is part of the larger Kermadec volcanic arc system. Brothers volcano (and the rest of the arc volcanoes) is unique in that it is hydrothermally active, releasing heat, metals, and other dissolved chemicals into the surrounding seawater.</p> <p>The aim of Expedition 376 was to clarify the key processes that distinguish hydrothermal systems of submarine arc volcanoes from those of mid-ocean ridge (spreading center) volcanoes. Fluid and rock samples will be used to determine the composition of hydrothermal fluids, the chemical reactions that take place on the way to the seafloor, how various metals are transported and deposited within the seafloor, and to assess the consequences of toxic and acidic environments for the microorganisms that live in and around the hydrothermal systems. This expedition was the first time the JOIDES Resolution (or any research vessel) drilled into an active underwater volcano!</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Finding Fossils: A Biostratigraphy Activity</title> <link>https://joidesresolution.org/activities/finding-fossils/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=finding-fossils</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[N Kurtz]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 28 Jun 2019 13:29:58 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Antarctica]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Biostratigraphy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Geological time]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Microfossils]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Paleontology]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://joidesresolution.org/?post_type=activity_revised&p=34832</guid> <description><![CDATA[The aim of this exercise is to show students how we determine the age of a sediment sample on board... <div class="read-more"><a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://joidesresolution.org/activities/finding-fossils/" title="Continue reading Finding Fossils: A Biostratigraphy Activity">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a></div>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The aim of this exercise is to show students how we determine the age of a sediment sample on board the JOIDES Resolution. Knowing the age of the sediments is important as it tells us how much further we still have to drill to reach our targets, or if we are getting close to dangerous layers of oil and gas. Shipboard scientists use fossilized plankton to work out how old their material is. Several groups of plankton produce external skeletons, and when the plankton dies, their skeletons sink to the seafloor where they are preserved in the sediment. The plankton species that are alive today are very different from those in the past, just like terrestrial animals: millions of years ago we had dinosaurs and flying reptiles, today we have mammals and birds.</p> <p>Video Resources for this activity:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nydKlpZdIU&list=PLroDmZEKRHPMCtFMzjx-Zg7plqnIqWMjI&index=2&t=242s">Introducing the International Ocean Discovery Program</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9tsdAQBcfM&list=PLroDmZEKRHPMCtFMzjx-Zg7plqnIqWMjI&index=3&t=0s">How Science Works</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0bcIoALDFg&list=PLroDmZEKRHPMCtFMzjx-Zg7plqnIqWMjI&index=4&t=341s">PNN Special Report: Life on Board</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/3bCLYXJ4QLs">Finding Fossils</a></p> <p>Developed by Dr. Anieke Brombacher on <a href="https://joidesresolution.org/expedition/383/">Expedition 383: Dynamics of Pacific Antarctic Circumpolar Current</a>.

In order to find some explanation for this event, Expedition 362 (August- September 2016) drilled sites U1480 (1432 m below the seafloor) and U1481 (1500 m below the seafloor) on a section of the seafloor ~200 km west of Sumatra, before the Indian Plate reaches the Sunda subduction zone. What makes the subduction zone offshore Northern Sumatra quite unusual is the amount of sediment on the subducting oceanic plate (up to 5 km thick just before subduction).</p> <p>Geologists have determined that the sedimentary materials being incorporated into the North Sumatra subduction zone are related to the Bengal-Nicobar Fan system, which originates more than 3000 km away from our drilling site! This fan is the largest submarine fan currently on the planet.</p> <p>This sedimentary system originates from erosion of the Himalayan mountains. Rivers carry the eroded material to the coast. If most of the sediment (~80%) is deposited onshore and offshore quite close to the coastline, a huge amount still makes its way along deep-sea canyons to the deep-sea portion of the Indian and even Australian plate.</p> <p>During <a href="https://joidesresolution.org//expedition/362/">Expedition 362</a>, a lot of turbidites coming from the erosion of the Himalaya mountains have been described in the cores.<br /> A turbidite is deposited by a turbidity current driven by gravity. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity_current">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity_current</a></p> <p>In the cores, they are units starting with sand levels fining up to clay levels and reflect an avalanche style deposit.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
