So that tweet did some numbers overnight 😱
Welcome to the new followers! Did you read something that made you think about the #deepsea in a new way & want to see some deep sea science in action? Have I got some live ROV dive sources for ya!

The big 3 groups doing live broadcasts of deepsea science are @EVNautilus, @SchmidtOcean, and @oceanexplorer. @Ocean_Networks also occasionally broadcasts their cabled observatory servicing cruises. Check them out! Summer is when scientists do a lot of work at sea!
If you were at the #IODP Town Hall last night at #AGU2019 and saw the acronym e-ODP, I'll explain:
eODP is an NSF- @EarthCube funded effort to, in simple terms, put ocean drilling stratigraphy (litho- & chrono-) into @UWMacrostrat and microfossils into @PaleoDB. But there's more!

eODP operates under the assumption that stratigraphy is the key data underlying ALL scientific ocean drilling data. The age and environmental setting for deposition is required to understand the context of other data we'd like to include in meta-analytical studies.
The @UWMacrostrat API allows other systems to utilize it's data (e.g., @flyovergeo) so the plan is to use it as a nexus for scientific ocean drilling data, augmenting the stratigraphic understanding with other data, using it like scaffolding to structure the other datasets.
