JOIDES Resolution Diary 5/11/23

Dear Diary,
​
What a travesty. No time today for dessert. After 16 hours of work, I can finally sit down and rest.

Our normal rate of hard rock recovery is one core every 3 hours with about 20% recovery. We’re up to a core per hour averaging 90% recovery with over 100% on some cores.

We are so back logged with the amount of cores that need to be processed that it was all hands on deck today…including the Outreach Officer (me).

So ridiculously cool to be able to participate in some of the most break through science this program has ever seen. We’re sensing some Nature and Science publications on the horizon…
