A younger (by 10 Myr) and protracted emplacement (up to several Myrs) of the Ontong Java Plateau science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Completely revised chronology of this large igneous province, with major implications for the cause of OAE1a.

Indeed, the biggest blow for earth scientists ever! But also for ocean scientists, life scientists ... you name it! The @TheJR is in perfect condition to sail four more years #JR4moreyears so that NSF can help this huge community to build a new global drilling vessel #NewJR!
A big blow for earth scientists! Even as a paleoclimatologist who never joined an #IODP cruise and doesn't work on pelagic sediments, I am pretty sure that we would not know half of what we know about (past) climate without the ocean drilling program(s).. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
The ocean drilling program in the U.S. stands at a critical junction. Sign the petition at us-soda.org/petition/ and get as many of your colleagues/peers to sign as well ... we need more than 2,000 signings at least! @theJR @JRSO_IODP #iodp
A very impressive opinion piece by the 13 major US institutions in collective support of "An Ambitious Vision for the Future of Scientific Ocean Drilling": eos.org/opinions/an-ambitiou…

Ocean drilling revolutionized Earth science — now geologists want to plumb new depths nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
@TOSOceanography special volume marks 50 years of Scientific Ocean Drilling and provides a Look to the Future of IODP to test the newest hypotheses on the frontiers of the Earth, Ocean and Life Sciences. @JRSO_IODP @ECORD_IODP @Chikyu_JAMSTEC @TheJR tos.org/oceanography/issue/v…
Figuring out Hawaii plume motion was rapid and unique, when compared to other hotspots in the Pacific (Rurutu, Louisville). Cool @NatureGeosci paper by Kevin Konrad and others. tinyurl.com/y76m6e7p @NSF_GEO @OSUCEOAS
International Ocean Discovery Program #IODP plans 4 expeditions in 2016/17 and 5 expeditions in 2018/19 @theJR ow.ly/VUbp6
Concept #4 for @EarthCube #geochron: A fully digital geological time scale to help us understand rapid climate, volcanic and tectonic events
Concept #3 for @EarthCube #geochron: A complete 4D reconstruction of the construction of the US continental crust over 4 billion years
@NSF and @EarthCube should build-in efficiencies and expedite sharing of #geochron data to make them readily discoverable and interoperable
Change always has delta-T in its equation! #geochron data is critical for understanding climate change, tectonic motions, etc. @EarthCube
Concept #1 for @EarthCube #geochron: Synthesis of Quaternary to Pliocene connecting all data sources for understanding environmental changes
Saving sample data by @EarthCube is crucial for #geochron, but don't forget about our "physical" samples, they need a home and curation too!
RT @sjGoring: We need to be able to produce 4-D visualizations of the earth's crust. Including Earth's interior/mantle @earthcube #geochron
RT @sjGoring: "Everyone needs age data" In fact, ages are the 4th dimension (time) in Earth sciences @earthcube pay attention! #geochron
RT @sjGoring: Indeed @earthcube should support all levels from raw data (i.e. analytical) to synthesis (our science questions) #geochron
