Water in the sediment cores is a hot commodity amongst the #EXP393 scientists. A non destructive way to extract that water is to use a Rhizon sampler (the syringe is opened to create a vacuum that pulls the water into it).

Another bday on the ship today! While we wait to re-enter a different drill hole we got to have some cake with the birthday girl. #EXP393 Photo: Tessa Peixoto/ IODP #NSFfunded #birthdayparty #ship pic.twitter.com/KKKTrnwT3r

Did you know if you squeeze hard enough (up to 25000lbs of pressure) you can get water out of clay? #EXP393 scientists collect the water trapped inside sediment to study past #ocean chemistry that existed when they were layed down. 📸 Tessa Peixoto/ IODP . . #NSFfunded pic.twitter.com/Qa2f7QES9n

The #ocean floor is a memoir that holds all the stuff that has fallen to the seafloor overtime. The pages are layered and #EXP393 scientists can travel through time by studying #fossils, chemical elements, and minerals found in the layers. 📸 Tessa Peixoto/IODP #NSFfunded pic.twitter.com/mzHxbsRadW

The driller uses the dial to know how much weight is on the drill bit (white arm) and how much weight is the whole drill pipe (yellow arm). While drilling this is important to maintain in a balance for the success of the operation. #EXP393 📸Tessa Peixoto/ IODP . . #NSFfunded pic.twitter.com/JEDVvfuwbR

Our imaging specialist photographs the core as soon as it is onboard. These photographs are just as critical to the records as the analyses that the science team preforms. #EXP393 Photo: Tessa Peixoto/ IODP #photography #science #NSFfunded #rocks pic.twitter.com/bCGFJzcJ1m
