3/4 Véritable laboratoire flottant, le Chikyu participe aux programmes IODP (International Ocean Discovery Program). Il ne se contente pas de forer : il installe des outils d'observation in-situ pour analyser les mouvements tectoniques et les ressources sous-marines en temps réel. 📡

Terrible placement of this plant, but at LEAST this section of the megathrust is really heavily instrumented and monitored thanks to many many IODP legs in the last decade+.

A Deep Dive Into Subduction Zones and the Japan Trench
Deep beneath the ocean, giant slabs of rock slide beneath one another in areas called subduction zones. These powerful movements shape the planet by building mountains, creating fiery volcanoes, and e...

Great article by @iphigenesdream.bsky.social on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and IODP Exp379.

„Our data about the Amundsen Sea’s past and the resulting forecast indicate that onshore changes in West Antarctica will not be slow, gradual or imperceptible from a human perspective.“

West Antarctica has collapsed before, and it wasn’t slow or quiet 😳

New research shows past ice loss triggered earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis, offering a stark warning that future melting could unleash sudden, catastrophic geological changes.

West Antarctica’s history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent’s ‘catastrophic’ geology
A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s future as the climate warms.

Our latest paper was published in PNAS. This presents the geochemical evidence for the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the mid-Pliocene, based on results from IODP Exp 379 (2019).

I mean, this is pretty much the point?

NSF killed IODP all on its own before this admin was even elected. And now the Palmer is gone too. The upper echelons of NSF are complicit in ALL of this.

If it happens, the dismantling "is just another unbelievably reckless blow to American science," @deepseadawn.bsky.social told me.

With lab member Louisa and ex-lab member (🥲) Rachel, we went to @marumunibremen.bsky.social to samples #IODP @ecord.bsky.social cores. Despite being drilled ~30 years ago, the mud we were looking at was once surface creatures, in the Miocene, 6 million years ago! Thanks Rachel for coming to help!
The core repository at Bremen has 100s of kms of IODP material Here we sample from dozens of metres below the seafloor, to get samples that were alive millions of years ago. Once taken, the samples are meticulously labelled so everyone knows we've got them, and we know where they came from. This trip had us taking 800 tiny bags home with us, or 1 ~36kg suitcase. Phew!

The @dfg.de Magazine just covered our IODP Expedition 398 and how its results help to unravel the evolution of Aegean volcanism and similar volcanic regions worldwide.

🌊 Our latest study reconstructs the tropical Indian Ocean during the mid-Pliocene - a past warm world with CO2 similar to today.

A reminder that future oceans may reorganise in ways that reshape ecosystems and the carbon cycle.

I love how they think you could still it quickly too...like LET ME TELL YOU how many IODP legs it took to drill some of our deepest holes. (Hint: many 8-week legs)

Not under her own power anymore, the vessel that revealed more about our planet than most others, the legendary JOIDES Resolution is being towed to a pre-cleaning yard in Lyngdal, Norway.
First pic I've seen of her since stepping off in August 24. Still looking great 🫡💔
