We’re in our final days of the onshore phase of #IODP3NSF #Exp501, but we haven’t yet shared what happens to the “working half.” Once split, it becomes the focus of intense sampling and analysis, helping us unlock the story hidden beneath the seafloor➡️ https://expedition501.wordpress.com/2026/02/10/the-core-flow-the-journey-of-the-working-half/

While the onshore operations of #IODP3NSF #Expedition501 are coming to an end, we’re not done meeting the people behind the science.
