Howdy, I'm Jon Lewis, Professor of Geoscience at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). I work in the realm of structural geology and tectonics, mostly in Taiwan as of late. I am also working (with Sharon Cooper) to understand the impact that short-duration, seagoing experiences have on STEM-interested undergrads. My undergrad-only department at IUP requires all majors to do research, so this keeps me out of trouble. I'm keen to see the scientific importance and societal relevance of scientific ocean drilling much more widely known.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Jose Cuevas, and I am a graduate student studying marine biogeochemistry at Boston College. I am broadly interested in scientific pedagogy (especially regarding the earth and ocean sciences!) and before going to graduate school I worked as an informal K-12 educator at an aquarium on the west coast.

Hello everyone! I'm Laura Guertin, a Professor of Earth Science at Penn State Brandywine (right outside of Philadelphia). My training is in marine geology & geophysics, and my research focuses on pedagogical approaches in introductory-level geoscience courses (what I teach, as the only geologist on my campus). As someone that engages in alot of science communication & outreach events for non-STEM audiences, I'm really looking forward to this workshop and my upcoming cruise on the JOIDES Resolution for EXP #390!

Hi Everyone,
I am a faculty member in the Geology and Earth Science Department at James Madison University. Our department is undergraduate only and we place a high priority on getting every student involved in research. I am a teaching faculty member focusing primarily on classes for non-science majors. This is a role I enjoy because I believe it is so important for everyone to understand why science is important to society.

Hi! My name is Kristen St John and I too am a professor in the Geology and Environmental Science Department at James Madison University. Scientific Ocean Drilling has been part of my life ever since graduate school when I sailed as a sedimentologist on ODP 163 off the coast of Greenland. Since then, I've sail a few more times and worked on samples from sites around the global ocean. I have a passion for connecting scientific research practices and findings to education, and enjoy developing curriculum materials and lab activities that model how research is done.

My research experience includes studying and interpreting the data that was collected from the 2016 R/V SONNE S0251 Japan expedition. I interpreted the cores and identified the signature of 2011 Tohoku earthquake event from two depositional environments. I am currently working on cores that were extracted from the Eastern region of Long Island Sound and interpreting the findings. I am looking forward to learning more in tomorrows workshop.

Hi All, I'm Don Haas, the Director of Teacher Programming at the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY and affiliated with Cornell University. I've sailed twice on the JOIDES Resolution, once as a participant in the School of Rock program for educators, and a second time as an instructor. My biggest interests are in climate and energy education, which I regard as the most important issues facing society today - and which can only be deeply understood through understandings of Earth system science. I also recognize that to best address these issues, we must attend to issues of equity and justice and broaden participation in science, not only in terms of preparation for college and career, but, more importantly, for the meeting of civic responsibilities.

And, ask me about why I'm holding a 2x4 in my picture.

Hi All, my name is Sean Gulick. I am a research professor at the Institute for Geophysics, associate chair at the Dept. of Geological Sciences, and co-director of the Center for Planetary Systems Habitability all within the Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin. My experience with outreach and science communications largely stems from my works at co-chief for IODP Expedition 341 to the Gulf of Alaska and then more recently with much greater intensity my experiences with being co-chief on IODP Expedition 364- Drilling the K-Pg Chicxulub impact crater. This latter expedition has had a sustained public and media interest in the four years since the drilling was complete and I am happy to discuss with any interested the trials and tribulations of doing IODP science under that level of interest and media attention. Looking forward to the conversations and learning more about best practices.

Hi, I am Henry Dick, a senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. I am an igneous and metamorphic petrologist with a strong background in mapping and sampling in ophiolites and ocean ridges. My research emphasis is on the architecture of the ocean crust and shallow mantle and their relationship to specific ridge environments. I have been on 8 ocean drilling legs, beginning with DSDP Leg 46 in 1976, 3 as co-chief scientist, and 4 as the principal proponent. My interest in deep drilling is the lower ocean crust and mantle, with particular interest in drilling the MOHO.

Hi everyone,
I am a geology professor at Queens College, CUNY (City University of New York). My main research focus is understanding climate changes of the past during time intervals when atmospheric CO2 was higher than today. I have been on a number of scientific drilling expeditions ranging from Antarctica all the way to New Jersey! The work that IODP is full of discovery, adventure, passion, and excitement. Also, so much of its research has real-life consequences for our future in terms of understanding climate change, other hazards, and other aspects of our planet. So I look forward to working with everyone so IODP can become as familiar to the public in the near future as NASA is today.
