Selected through an international call for science communicators, I’m working alongside an international team of scientists from #geology and #microbiology. Operated by JAMSTEC/MARE3, the Chikyu is coring sediment from more than 7,600 m water depth in the hadal zone. These cores help uncover megathrust earthquake and tsunami histories, and offer new insights into deep-sea trenches, the #carbon cycle, and #climate.
