Core on deck! 9.5 m of core and core liner is hand carried from the drill floor each time the core barrel arrives from the seafloor. The Core Laboratory technicians form a line and shoulder the core to take it to the core receiving platform. The material is then measured, cut into 150 cm sections, and taken inside to the ship’s laboratories. (Credit: Bill Crawford, IODP JRSO) [Photo ID: exp356_024]
