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

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.

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

These glittery calcite crystals grew in a crack in the 32 million year old basalt we cored on ocean drilling ship @TheJR this week.
Water depth: 2.2 km
Rock depth: 1.1 km
Ships capable of doing this after 2024: 0
