Science Objectives

Our aim is to obtain as many and as deep jumbo piston cores as possible to investigate the potential temporal variability of hydrothermal activity on the Juan de Fuca Ridge.  COring sites are currently planned to be west of the Juan de Fuca ridge axis.  We will also try to obtain high resolution multibeam bathymetry out to a crustal age of 2 million years (~40 miles off-axis from the ridge).
