Two studies arising from IODP Expedition 352 were submitted over the last few days. “Tephrostratigraphy and provenance from IODP Expedition 352, Izu-Bonin arc: tracing tephra sources and volumes from the Oligocene to the Recent” by Kutterolf, et al., was submitted to Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems and the “Role of Late Oligocene-Recent deep-sea hemipelagic and tuffaceous sediments overlying oceanic crust of the Izu-Bonin forearc (IODP Expedition 352) in the tectonic development of the NW Pacific region” by Robertson, et al., was submitted to International Geology Review. Fingers crossed for both papers! My contribution was to identify the radiolarians extracted from the cores and to help construct the age model.
