WHAT IS THE JOIDES RESOLUTION? The JOIDES Resolution (JR) is a research vessel that drills into the ocean floor to collect and study core samples. Scientists use data from the JR to better understand climate change, geology, and Earth’s history. It is a part of the International Ocean Discovery Program and is funded by the National Science Foundation. For the past month and a half, science communicator Erin Winick has been aboard the Joides Resolution, taking part in a scientific ocean expedition. During this interview, Erin provides a glimpse into life aboard the ship and discusses how the work they are doing will help define what the Earth looked like millions of years ago. Part of the work that Erin does involves providing tours for schools, museums, educators, or groups who would like to see what life aboard the ship is like.
