Wrapping it all up.

It's been a few weeks of hard work, but the pay off in knowledge makes it all worthwhile.

 

The last core-rah! Last night the #beringseaexpedition team deployed the jumbo piston corer and collected the last core of their research cruise. They concluded with a transect across the St. George basin. These cores are expected to contain a complete record of marine sedimentation during the Holocene and, hopefully, the last ice age.

Weather is about to shut them down and they expect it to arrive later today or very early Thursday morning. They are now steaming south toward Dutch Harbor, looking to weather out the storm.
