Earthwise Lecture Series: IODP 389 - Drilling Drowned Reefs Offshore Hawaii

Greetings from EARTHWISE CLUB, IIT Gandhinagar!

We are excited to invite you to the Earthwise Lecture Series. Join us as we uncover the mysteries of the submerged coral reefs and their role in understanding Earth's past climate changes.

About the IODP:

The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) continues its remarkable journey to explore Earth's history through marine sediments and rocks. Expedition 389 is dedicated to the study of the Hawaiian drowned reefs. These submerged coral formations hold invaluable insights into sea level fluctuations and climatic variations spanning the past half a million years.
