Expertise sought: This call seeks researchers (including graduate students) with the following research specialisms:
(1) two Palynologists, and (2) one Physical Properties Specialist/Volcanic Stratigraphic Integrator with documented experience in integrating volcanic core description, core physical properties, and wireline logging image interpretation to build a complete volcanostratigraphy.

WHO SHOULD APPLY: We encourage applications from all qualified scientists. The JOIDES Resolution Science Operator (JRSO) is committed to a policy of broad participation and inclusion, and to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all program participants. Opportunities exist for researchers (including graduate students) in most shipboard specialties, including but not limited to sedimentologists, volcanologists, petrologists, igneous geochemists, inorganic and organic geochemists, micropaleontologists, paleomagnetists, physical properties specialists, and borehole geophysicists. Good working knowledge of the English language is required.

COVID-19 PROTOCOL: The JRSO has created a protocol to safely operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. If pandemic conditions have not improved by mid-2021, the expedition may need to sail with a reduced shipboard contingent. However, all participants will maintain their designation as science party members regardless of whether they sail or not, and will have equal access to all expedition data and core materials. The protocol is available here: http://iodp.tamu.edu/scienceops/JR_COVID-Mitigation-Protocols-2020-07-02.pdf.

Exploring the Norwegian Sea: 60 days of my life as a sailing geochemist

21 Oct. 2021
Sayantani Chatterjee (Niigata University)

I feel extremely honored and grateful to be one of the sailing scientists of the IODP expedition 396: Mid-Norwegian Continental Margin Magmatism, especially considering this is the first post-covid expedition with a partial shipboard science party. Incidentally this is my first-time participation in an IODP expedition as well as in the JOIDES Resolution research vessel. This unique expedition gives us the opportunity to study the key processes responsible for the enormous amount of volcanism during the opening of North Atlantic and how it was related to Paleocene-Eocene Thermal maximum or the PETM.
The expedition was started with 7 days quarantine in a hotel in Reykjavik, followed by 2 covid tests. We were fortunate enough that we made it through all the covid protocol and finally stated the real job in JR. Finally, we retrieved a significant amount of Paleocene – Eocene sediments and underlying basalts to test our hypothesis. As an inorganic geochemist my responsibilities were to the first-hand collecting samples, analyses the chemistry of the sediments and the hard rock samples; and interpret the data. We discussed our results and forthcoming strategies during regular onboard discussion with shipboard science party and execute our jobs (like core description, physical properties measurement, geochemistry, paleomagnetism etc.) accordingly. In spite of being limited in number we all are trying our best to accomplish the target with the great support from the onshore scientists. With a partial science party and technician, our job was extremely challenging. But, with a great weather condition and an awesome group of scientists I can say all of our members are equally motivated to make this expedition a great success.
Besides that, sometimes we enjoyed the company of a pod of pilot whales in the arctic and glance of the Northern lights, the Aurora borealis. I also got great responses for the Education and Outreach program from Ajikata Junior High School, Niigata, Japan, and GCDC College Manbazar, West Bengal, India and other students from universities in India. Needless to say that this expedition is the most amazing opportunity that has come my way. On top of that, I wish to convey my sincere gratitude to J-DESC for supporting me, from my Visa application to arranging all my transportation and checking on me from time to time. It would not be possible for me to participate in this expedition without their help and support.

My name in reality; Sayantani means “twilight” in Bengali

Is it a reality or a cosmic fairy tale?
