Christian Ohneiser’s notes from monthly meeting on 5 Sept 2016
Greetings all,
At today’s meeting we talked about EXP373 (813), and the Otago drilling blog.
EXP373 (813)
If you have an interest in Antarctica’s climate and ice history I encourage you to apply. This expedition will not use the JR which means few shipboard scientists and more shore based work. It is a great opportunity to get involved without the need for two months at sea. You will still have to participate in the onshore science party(OSP). The duration of the OSP depends on the quantity of core collected.

Applications close on the Monday 12 September. If you would like to apply and don’t have documentation/details let me/Virginia know and I will forward you relevant material rather than spamming you all.
If you have a moment check out the new Otago drilling blog: https://blogs.otago.ac.nz/drill-otago/
New Scientist article about Sumatra Seismogenic Zone expedition
Sarah Kachovich (radiolarians) and Toby Colson (physical properties) are at sea on the JR drilling the incoming plate of the Sumatra Seismogenic Zone. An article has just appeared in the “New Scientist” about the expedition:
