A Deep Dive Into Subduction Zones and the Japan Trench Deep beneath the ocean, giant slabs of rock slide beneath one another in areas called subduction zones. These powerful movements shape the planet by building mountains, creating fiery volcanoes, and e...

We have a short science communication paper for kids in Frontiers for Young Minds about subduction zones and IODP Expedition 405.

Another photo dump from Chikyu.

1 - Nice weather from a day ago

2 - Strong winds and rain from today

3 - Some work for the next expedition. Here is looking at sonar data...

4 - Rat-tail fish having a party at 5.5 km (they were just curious about the drill pipe/underwater TV light, we think)

I'm on Chikyu again for IODP Expedition 502e. We're here to retrieve, maintain, reprogram, redeploy the thermistors from two borehole observatories from last year.

We managed to retrieve, connect to all 185 sensors to download data from the past year and re-program.

Here is a leftover comic from the #IODP Expedition 405 from last year.

This one covers the borehole observatories.
Bonus photo from the first installation attempt!

Here is a leftover comic from the #IODP Expedition 405 from last year.

This one is based on @callanbentley.bsky.social's spaghetti noodle analogy to convey the depth we had to reach.

Last photo dump from earlier this month.
1 - The long walk on the Dungeness Spit.
2 - The lighthouse.
3 - Jonathan on the light tower.
4 - On the flight back home, I think I took a snapshot of Mount Adams (foreground), Mount Hood (mid-ground), and Mount Jefferson (in the far distance). 🌋

More photos from early June from North Bend~
1 - Went to Washington after Juneau. Jonathan climbed and I shortroped (and worried).

2 - More climbers on Little Si.

3 - We stayed with uncle Dave and Sue (and PeeWee)!

4 - From a glorious long walk in North Bend.

More May photos from Alaska!

More photos from late April/early May: Austria travels for EGU. Semmering hike and mostly Vienna memories.

Welp. I disassociated and now it’s June. I’ll share some photos and comics from April & May in a way to not feel bad about suddenly realizing half the year disappeared.

April was a lot of Texas travel. One of the trips was for the College Station, to the Gulf Coast Core Repository (GCR).

I’m jelly!

1: Helena and her mother are eating dinner. Helena is sheepishly asking „Um…Mom? Did you get a call from school today?“ „No“ 2: Helena yells out „Oh, okay! Good! Uh, no reason!“ while her mother keeps eating dinner. 3: Helena looks at her mother in slight disbelief, almost knowing something’s coming. Mom is still eating dinner. 4: While eating dinner, Mom says „Just pay better attention in class“. „How did you know???“

Clairvoyance, Helena 122.

More Japan photos (after IODP 405)

1 - Before we docked. We ended up sitting near Shimizu for a day.
2 - Our welcome party included the town mascot (which was a seal, I think)
3 - Kamakura! I will go back one day (to take reference photos, collect the temple stamps, and also go to Enoshima)

I forgot to make one of these. Almost a month late, but here is my 2024 Art vs Artist thing (along with the last two years)

I like making these because it gives me an excuse to sit down and figure out what I did the year before (and what I enjoyed illustrating).

Thank you! I shot them on a FujiFilm XS20. It’s a digital camera. I do love FujiFilm’s colors so much.
