Hellenic Arc Volcanic Field
JR scientists drilled around Santorini, Christiana, and Kolumbo to investigate the volcanic system under the islands and learn whether tectonic plate movements trigger eruptions in this and other arc volcano systems.
Iberian Margin Paleoclimate
Expedition 397 will drill into the Iberian Margin to collect sediment cores that provide high-resolution information about changing climate as far back as the Pliocene. Correlating data among marine, terrestrial, and ice data, will provide the greatest possible potential to reconstruct the natural variability of the North Atlantic climate (before human impact) at unprecedented temporal resolution back through the last 5 million years.
Transit and Return to Walvis Ridge Hotspot
During transit from Cape Town to Lisbon, JOIDES Resolution scientists return to the Walvis Ridge (Tristan-Gough) hotspot track in this sister expedition to EXP391.
South Atlantic Transit 2
BELOW THE SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN Deep below the Atlantic Ocean, running from north to south along its center, lies…
South Atlantic Transect 1
The South Atlantic Transect is a multidisciplinary investigation along a crustal flow line across the western flank of the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The work will span across two expeditions, Exp. 390 and 393.
Agulhas Plateau Cretaceous Climate
The International Ocean Discovery Program drilling cruise to the Agulhas Plateau will investigate the interplay between changes in global climate, ocean depth and ocean circulation. It aims to recover first-ever deep geologic samples from this large oceanic plateau situated approximately 500km south of South Africa.
