Miriam Kastner (Inorganic Geochemist; US) prepares interstitial water samples for titration in the chemistry lab. Kohtaro Ujiie (Structural Geologist; Japan) and Chris Fergusson (Sedimentologist; Australia) discuss the Site 1175 results. Kohtaro's father sailed as a scientist on the first drilling leg in the Nankai Trough (DSDP Leg 31 in 1973).
Mike Underwood (Sedimentologist; US) and Pierre Henry (Physical Properties; France) compare sedimentologic and physical properties data. Matt O'Regan (in background; Marine Laboratory Specialist: Paleomagnetism; Canada) works in the paleomagnetism lab. The day shift that works from 12 (noon) to 12 (midnight) gathers for a discussion over the decollement core. From left to right: Sabine Hunze (Physical Properties; Germany), Harold Tobin (peering over table; Structural Geologist; US), Toshio Hisamitsu (Paleomagnetist; Japan), Alex Maltman (Structural Geologist; UK), Satoshi Hirano (Sedimentologist; Japan), Kohtaro Ujiie (Structural Geologist; Japan), Moyra Wilson (Sedimentologist; UK), and Elizabeth Screaton (Physical Properties; US).


Art Spivack (Inorganic Geochemist; US) prepares a sediment sample for hydrogen analysis in the newly constructed microbiology lab. Barbeque on the bow. Enjoying a soda, but wishing it was beer! Left to right: Adam Klaus (Staff Scientist; US), Brad Julson (Lab Officer; US), John MacIntosh (at table in background in blue shirt; TSF Electrical Supervisor; Scotland), Rakesh Mithal (white and blue stripped shirt; Database Supervisor; US), and Satoshi Hirano (Sedimentologist; Japan).

The scientists, technical staff, drilling crew, and ship's staff gather on the bow for the Leg 190 group picture.
