The JOIDES Resolution (JR) is a seagoing research vessel that drills core samples and collects measurements from under the ocean floor, giving scientists a glimpse into Earth’s development. Data from the JR’s ocean drilling offer a scientific means of understanding climate and environmental change throughout a significant part of our planet’s history. (source: joidesresolution.org)

You may remember learning a bit about the work that scientists do on the JR in our special Earth Day edition of Virtual Storytime. Add to the story with today’s whimsical follow-up!
