Kia Ora

Kia ora, 15 days before I head off on Expedition 342 and I still have so much to finish off here at GNS that I'm getting a little panicky. So, this blog is just to let you know that I've figured out how to log in and will talk some more later. In case you are wondering, Te Pu Ao, the Maori name for GNS means the foundation, origin and source of the world.

So yesterday the US IODP site with all the scientific reports from recent years was down for some updating. When I went back today, it was very easy to find the Scientific Procedings from your expedition!

This will be the final blog for expedition 340. We began the journey filled with anticipation, setting out to gain a better understanding of the constructive and destructive history of volcanoes in the Lesser Antilles, as well as the fate and impact of large volumes of volcanic debris settling in the seafloor over millions of years.

Mission Accomplished! The 340 science expedition has been completed. A total of 434 cores were retrieved with almost 2400 meters recovered from the seafloor. Delighted to report that the scientific objectives of the expedition were accomplished and the cores were beautiful to see as each arrived from the depths of the seafloor.

Pour terminer, je poste ci-dessous quelques poèmes rédigés par les CM1 de Marseille qui nous ont suivis de près ! Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu les voir jeudi dernier pour la dernière visio-conférence prévue car il y a eu un problème de connexion sur le bateau.
