Hi All, please find the link to a short “Science Highlights” article just published in the AGU science magazine EOS co-authored by myself and GRG collaborator Prof. Ana Christina Ravelo (UC, Santa Cruz).

Webster, J. M., and C. Ravelo (2025), Unlocking climate secrets of Hawai‘i’s drowned reefs, Eos, 106, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025EO250135. Published on 11 April 2025.

The purpose of the article is to summarise some of the scientific highlights, as well as the significant challenges we faced, while carrying out the International Ocean Discovery Program’s (IODP) Expedition 389 (X389) offshore the Big Island in the Fall of 2023. We also summarise the exciting potential of what we hope to achieve with the ongoing post expedition science that is now in full swing.

Hopefully you’ll find it an entertaining read, while also gettng a sense of what it’s like to participate in one of these international endeavours. And once again we thank the entire IODP 389 Expedition Science Party, ECORD Science Operator (ESO) support staff, Benthic drilling team, MMA surveyors, and the captain and crew of the MMA Valour for their outstanding work on the offshore and onshore phases of the expedition.

Cheers

Jody
