Thanks to the the WHOI team for allowing this non-working guest (pot in box) to ride on cruise Knorr 191, when they deployed Jim Broda's new long core system. Celebrating the stories that appen in their world has been something I have enjoyed doing, so I made this as a gift. I designed it so people aboard the ship could apply the material themselves, and carve their names and record history through their direct touch. Click twice more to see the largest image of the names. Two samples of Bermuda Rise sediment are on here: first is top from 1998, the darker is from 2007 CDH10. Both were labeled the same water depth of 4,583 meters through the water. The core depth of this cruise was about 35 meters (previous cores attained about 31 meters.) |
