🧵 “Exciting” isn’t enough to describe what I currently have the privilege to take part in. From now until Dec 12, I’m joining "Expedition 503 – Hadal Trench Tsunamigenic Slip History: Buried in Trench" of the IODP³. We’re in the Japan Trench on board the deep-sea scientific drilling vessel D/V Chikyu, one of the most advanced research vessels in the world.

Selected through an international call for science communicators, I’m working alongside an international team of scientists from #geology and #microbiology. Operated by JAMSTEC/MARE3, the Chikyu is coring sediment from more than 7,600 m water depth in the hadal zone. These cores help uncover megathrust earthquake and tsunami histories, and offer new insights into deep-sea trenches, the #carbon cycle, and #climate.
