Check out this UDaily article highlighting graduate student Kuan-Yu Lin’s research as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 399 to the Atlantis Massif in spring 2023.
A recent Washington Post article by Carolyn Y. Johnson features IODP Expedition 399. This expedition, in which UD graduate student Kuan-Yu Lin is participating, has drilled over a kilometer of rocks from below the seafloor!

This Science news article by Paul Voosen highlights the amazing success of the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 399 to Atlantis Massif. Scroll down for a photo of University of Delaware graduate student Kuan-Yu Lin analyzing rocks samples aboard the ship!
Graduate student Kuan-Yu Lin set sail in April for the Atlantis Massif (~30N, 42W in the Atlantic Ocean) on the drill ship Joides Resolution. He is participating in Expedition 399 “Building Blocks of Life, Atlantis Massif” of the International Ocean Discovery Program. Follow the progress of the expedition here.

Graduate student Abigail Nalesnik and UD affiliate professor Kendra J. Lynn are featured in this amazing interactive piece by Tracey Bryant and Dave Barczak for the UD Research magazine. The story describes their encounter with a volcanic eruption at Kīlauea’s Halema’uma’u crater in 2021.
Leg 3 of the 2019-2021 Gofar Transform Fault Earthquake Prediction Experiment set sail from San Diego earlier this month and arrived on site in the equatorial Pacific this week. The scientists, engineers, and crew aboard the R/V Thompson are now working to recover ocean bottom seismometers, use the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry to image the […]
