Recently Completed (September 2020): JOIDES Resolution Engineering Testing
Expedition 384 performed engineering testing at sites of opportunity in the North Atlantic. Testing focused on deep (>1 km) drilling and coring in igneous ocean crust, following some recommendations made by the Deep Crustal Drilling Engineering Working Group and the JR Facility Board.
Recently Completed (February 2020): South Pacific Paleogene Climate
This JOIDES Resolution expedition studied climate and oceanographic conditions during the Cenozoic by targeting sediments deposited during the very warm late Paleocene and early Eocene in the southern Pacific Ocean.
