This week, the 2026 Teacher/Research and Curriculum Experience (TRACX), a step-child of the long-running School of Rock, is taking place at the Gulf Coast Repository. Ten teachers and three researchers are teaming up to advance SciOD research while creating classroom resources.
Last week, the IODP Expedition 403 Postcruise Meeting took place in Svalbard, Norway– a fitting location for an expedition focused on the Fram Strait. Scientists shared findings from the ancient climate, tectonic, and DNA data stored in Exp 403 cores.

Just about 800mi from the North Pole, Longyearbyen will host the @us-sciod.bsky.social Exp403 postcruise meeting this week.
It's great to see valleys carved by the same glaciers that our expedition analyzes, the debris of the former mountains ending up as ice-rafted debris in our sediment cores.
The Expedition 403 postcruise meeting on Svalbard was a great success. Several days of scientific presentation followed by some time exploring the geology of the fjords. @us-sciod.bsky.social @ecord.bsky.social @anzic.bsky.social
