Weβre in our final days of the onshore phase of #IODP3NSF #Exp501, but we havenβt yet shared what happens to the βworking half.β Once split, it becomes the focus of intense sampling and analysis, helping us unlock the story hidden beneath the seafloorβ‘οΈ expedition501.wordpress.com/2026/02/10/t...
While the onshore operations of #IODP3NSF #Expedition501 are coming to an end, weβre not done meeting the people behind the science.
Today, meet Bryce Mitsunaga from @harvard.edu
