It’s an invitation for readers to engage with cores from the privileged point-of-view of researchers who were the first to see, smell, and touch material from deep under the ocean floor; who, after watching the cores be split open, spent hours analyzing each centimeter of mud and rock.</p> <p>Haiku is an especially relevant way to package core descriptions from the Cretaceous period, which was the focus of IODP Expedition 392 to the Agulhas Plateau. An ancient poetic form consisting of 17 syllables in three lines (5-7-5), haiku compactly and powerfully captures moments of time . . . moments that, on the surface, may appear unremarkable but resonate with the deep truths. . . truths that emerge from paying close attention to the natural world.</p> <p>The individual haiku are gems that reveal anticipation, frustration, awe, excitement, and wonder. Strung together, they uncover a trove of insights that span millennia. By allowing us to see ourselves as tiny points on a long ecological and geological spectrum, the collection reveals how fortunate we are to be alive at this moment, on this planet.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Read a Rock, Vol. 2: A Free Graphic Novel</title> <link>https://joidesresolution.org/activities/how-to-read-a-rock-vol-2-a-free-graphic-novel/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-to-read-a-rock-vol-2-a-free-graphic-novel</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Kevin Kurtz]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 17 Oct 2023 18:29:27 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Drilling]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Earthquakes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Expeditions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Just for Kids]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Plate Tectonics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tsunami]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Volcanoes]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://joidesresolution.org/?post_type=activity_revised&p=40396</guid> <description><![CDATA[How to Read a Rock Vol. 2 follows up on How to Read a Rock Vol. 1, the nonfiction graphic novel... <div class="read-more"><a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://joidesresolution.org/activities/how-to-read-a-rock-vol-2-a-free-graphic-novel/" title="Continue reading How to Read a Rock, Vol. 2: A Free Graphic Novel">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a></div>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>How to Read a Rock Vol. 2 </strong></em>follows up on <em><strong>How to Read a Rock Vol. 1, </strong></em>the nonfiction graphic novel about how the scientists of the International Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) use clues in cores that help them learn what happened in Earth’s past and how our planet works.

(IODP), the rocks and sediment in the cores drilled by the JOIDES Resolution are like Wikipedia pages that tell the story of the Earth. If you have wondered how scientists learn so much from something that was buried under the seafloor and has no writing or explainer videos on it, then the <em><strong>How to Read a Rock</strong></em> is the graphic novel/digital comic for you! Written with 5th-9th graders in mind, <em>How to Read a Rock</em> is a fun introduction to the clues geologists find in cores that help them learn what happened in Earth’s past and how our planet works.</p> <p>The <strong>curriculum guide</strong> is for educators of kids in the 5th grade-through high school range. It provides more details on NGSS standards addressed by <em>How to Read a Rock, Vol. 1, </em>as well as resources and activities that can further the learning of the comic.</p> <p><strong>How to download <em>How to Read a Rock:</em></strong><br /> The graphic novel is available as a PDF that can be read on any device with a screen, from a tablet to a classroom’s interactive whiteboard.

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>Iceberg of Antarctica Book</title> <link>https://joidesresolution.org/activities/iceberg-of-antarctica-book/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=iceberg-of-antarctica-book</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[N Kurtz]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Jul 2019 14:07:07 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Antarctica]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Climate Change]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Geological time]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Iceberg Alley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Icebergs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Microfossils]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://joidesresolution.org/?post_type=activity_revised&p=35088</guid> <description><![CDATA[Inspired by Expedition 382, Iceberg Alley, Iceberg of Antarctica follows an iceberg’s formation and journey from snowfall, to ice stream... <div class="read-more"><a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://joidesresolution.org/activities/iceberg-of-antarctica-book/" title="Continue reading Iceberg of Antarctica Book">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a></div>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inspired by Expedition 382, Iceberg Alley, <i>Iceberg of Antarctica</i> follows an iceberg’s formation and journey from snowfall, to ice stream grinding across the continent, to the iceberg’s calving, drifting, and eventual melting in the ocean.
