During this cruise, we completed 12 ROV dives, collected 49 vibracores, and 201 push cores. The length of these samples total 11,215 centimeters of sediment cores. Of that, we sliced, bagged, and labeled over 4,009 one-centimeter slices of mud. We hope these muddy samples can shed some light on how these features were formed.

This video is a fun (and speedy) depiction of a day in the life of marine geologists, collecting and processing cores, on the R/V Western Flyer during this expedition. Video edited and produced by Natasha Chapplow (MBARI collaborator, Durham University).
