joides resolution

Dawn Wright, who earned her master’s in oceanography from Texas A&M, is one of four scientists in the program's first all-female cohort.

Sailing aboard the world-renowned JOIDES Resolution research drill ship, Julia Reece and Jason Sylvan will each co-lead a two-month South Atlantic research expedition.

Currently working in the South Atlantic, the NSF-funded International Ocean Discovery Program expedition saved a turtle while completing its engineering efforts.

The university was one of the first in the nation to receive an NSF grant.

The cores show life present at 2,600 feet below the Indian Ocean seafloor. The discovery could lead to similar finds around the world.
