Interested in grad school? My colleagues and I are looking for Geophysics grad students @IGPP @Scripps_Ocean (see for projects: scripps.ucsd.edu/doctoral/progr…). We host a virtual open house with infos on the Geophysics program this Friday, Nov 1, noon PT, RSVP: forms.gle/zQPRbDRvykbsMr…

At approximately 10:06 am this morning Amsterdam time, #Exp403 officially came to an end, and with it the U.S. scientific ocean drilling program. Here’s the last time scientists will walk the gangway leaving @TheJR

AGU Session Alert 🚨: @imagecreateca are sponsoring the AGU Session V013. Linking magmatic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes in arc-backarc and mid-ocean ridge settings. We welcome all submissions from those working along MORs and back-arcs!

@EarthSciCam @ECORD_IODP Thanks for highlighting this work - these cores were collected on scientific drillship JOIDES Resolution @TheJR operated by @JRSO_IODP #Exp395 #NSFfunded

Callum Pearman is studying rocks drilled from the flanks of the Mid Ocean Ridge to the south of Iceland by the @ECORD_IODP. The chemical makeup of these basalts is revealing temperature changes inside the Iceland plume over time. 📷peperite and basaltic rocks, credit Nicky White.

Beneath Iceland lies a colossal fountain of hot rock that rises from Earth's core-mantle boundary. It's the largest mantle plume on Earth, but scientists still have a lot to learn about its workings. Our researchers presented their work on the Iceland plume at #EGU24, a🧵

Join us at 12pm Eastern on May 1 for the next US InterRidge Webinar given by Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab Register: ucsd.zoom.us/meeting/regist… Previous webinars are on our freshly minted US InterRidge website👉 usinterridge.org

New paper out in @Nature today! Turns out #MidOceanRidges can still surprise us… 👇🏻 nature.com/articles/s4158…

.@TheNASEM: "...the capacity for future scientific ocean drilling for the United States and its present international partners will likely be reduced to approximately 10 percent of its current capacity" Report out today: nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27414

U.S. InterRidge is launching a brand-new monthly webinar, with everything from mid-ocean ridges to the deep abyss: science above, at and below the #seafloor! Next speaker: Masako Tominaga, @WHOI 6 March | 12pm ET Register: ucsd.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Upcoming schedule 👇

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the core? Let me show you where the core from #EXP395 ended up! #IODP #NSFFunded

China will conduct the 1st sea trial of its self-developed and world's most advanced ocean-drilling research vessel, Mengxiang, in S China's Guangzhou on Dec 22. The ship, with a max range of 15,000 nmi, can operate for 120 consecutive days and drill in waters as deep as 11,000m.

New research from Brian Tucholke & Deborah Smith @WHOI and @Ross_PT @Scripps_Ocean shows that magma supply—not the rate of seafloor spreading—is the strongest predictor for how seafloor morphology is formed. #AGUPubs eos.org/research-spotl…

Do you study mid-ocean ridges? There's a townhall for you at #AGU23! Meet your colleagues, hear from funding agencies, and bring ideas on working together. Share your input: forms.gle/pixNfgRgk7vmfs…

An update for those who signed our letter to @NSF asking them to support the scientific ocean drilling community in the U.S.: Director McManus sent us a reply, detailing much of the same we’ve been hearing— the future of our field remains uncertain.

Quick display of IMO's earthquake locations the last 6hrs using map.is. A good,free tool to play with. It certainly looks like a dyke intrusion propagating both SW and NE from Svartsengi. Note that seismicity indicates that the dyke reaches under Grindavík town

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university. American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀 Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

@OrbulinasDad Let’s hope so.

@OrbulinasDad I want to be optimistic, but how can this work without a full ocean depth drilling vessel on long term contract for science?
