we are currently bringing up core TN0909_10JC, our tenth core. we are
looking at stratigraphy in the Mendocino deformation zone, aka, THE
TRIANGLE OF DOOM! we want to be able to deconfound the stratigraphic
relations between Cascadia subduction zone, San Andreas fault,
Mendocino fault, and other crustal fault ruptures.
saw a whole bunch of dolphins yesterday. the weather is perfect coring
weather. it has been sunny to partly cloudy. we had a few sprinkles
yesterday, but that has been the limit of precipitation. i love the
view of the coast range from the ship. i can see the Mad River Valley,
Fickle Hill, South Fork mountain, etc.
last night i got the longest sleep of the cruise, about 7 hours. gotta
go, the core is about to come up on deck and i need to eat a quick
bite of food before my shift starts. peace out, jay
