@melissaberke.bsky.social and I worked tag team around the clock to do all the coulometry on the first hole of #Exp401 #IMMAGEland2sea. Weighing on waves requires patience, which apparently we both have lots of!

Snapped this one yesterday, day shift Simon has an office with a view for morning emails. #TheJR #Exp401 #IMMAGEland2sea

Captain Harm gave a tour of the bridge and 2 hrs later we were still keeping an eye on the ship that was not in it's lane (it was in the lane for hazardous cargo). It is crowded out here at sea, four lane highways of commuting traffic!

That's a lot of drill pipe, as we are drilling some pretty deep mud. I have personally push cored 9m of lake mud from an inflatable boat, and up to 25m on the Knorr, as you can see I am 😍 the upgrade. Gotta have a drill ship like TheJR to access the Miocene and we all know #TheMioceneIsTheFuture.

Can't put this on any old boat! First time walking under a drilling rig before all the action starts. Spot the minion?

#TheJR is looking pretty festive as we hear up to head out of Amsterdam on #Exp401. I am working the night shift 🧪 in the chemistry lab at sea for the next 2 months, phase 1 of #IMMAGEland2sea ⚒️ #NSFfunded
