"It finally happened!"
Not great pictures, but still....
These were taken less than a minute apart. Kind of fulfilled a childhood fantasy.
Seconds later I narrowly avoided being crushed by a falling anvil!

I’ve spent the holidays on the JR, too. What an unforgettable experience. Good friends, good science!

So what does it mean to spend the holidays at sea. 🌊🎄 Well, you definitely aren’t going to spend the day alone. You’ve got a whole ship full of people literally in the same boat.

Thanks for the memories! I did that walk scores of times over four JR legs (140, 148, 168, 193). Nothing like running miles in tight circles!!!!

The JOIDES Resolution is ~470 feet long! That provides lots of room for morning helipad walks.

Highly recommended!!! Awesome recognition, Scott!

My two big hopes for the book: that the incredible Thomas Smallwood would get some very belated acclaim, and that more Americans would learn about the domestic slave trade, which tore thousands of families apart. This recognition should help.

On the Delmarva Peninsula 20,000 acres of farmland has converted to wetlands because of #sealevelrise and soils in another 2,000 acres has become too saline to grow crops. @Jeremy_Cox

I don’t know who Patton Oswalt is, but this statement seems very wise, to me. I stand against persecution of the Jewish people, and I feel deeply for the common Palestinian. Let’s make progress toward a lasting peace.

I might be inspired to finally get a tattoo. Of course, it would have be marialite (Vanko and Bishop, 1982).

We like cacoxenite, on which phosphorus is predicated But kyanite folks are so beautifully dedicated! #MinCup23

Tragic. I think I snorkeled there about 50 years ago with my Johns Hopkins geology class field trip to the Florida Keys, led by Dr. Laurie Hardie. 😞

Update from North Dry Rocks (9/21): tragically, this site has become a graveyard of elkhorn & staghorn #coral. Once a true gem with >2 dozen elkhorn genets & countless staghorn (planted by @coralcrf), the vast majority have died & only a few are hanging on. So very devastating 😭

I see the "livestock CH4 is/is not the same as fossil CH4" debate has resurfaced again🙄
Y'all! This is very well studied. Here's a thread on the science.
First tho, both these claims are untrue:
- livestock and fossil CH4 are the same
- livestock CH4 doesn't warm the planet

How cool is this! @AvaWBAL interviewed @wbalradio @VankoVision for a feature on @wbaltv11 #11TVHill ahead of his well deserved retirement in a few weeks! Bill’s an amazing broadcaster/wordsmith who will be missed on @wbalradio wbaltv.com/article/bill-v…

New discovery alert: I've spotted evidence that Mars had wet-dry cycles that could have led to conditions for microscopic life to form! More on the hexagonal shapes in these preserved mud cracks and what they tell my team: go.nasa.gov/3QwbITS

The U.S. has got to continue its investment in world-class scientific ocean drilling. To continue down this road of disinvestment would not only be disappointing, but also ridiculously short-sighted.

These glittery calcite crystals grew in a crack in the 32 million year old basalt we cored on ocean drilling ship @TheJR this week. Water depth: 2.2 km Rock depth: 1.1 km Ships capable of doing this after 2024: 0 #Exp395 #IODP
