Six new IODP expeditions using the JOIDES Resolution (JR) are scheduled from March 2019 through May 2020. As approved by the JR Facility Board (JRFB) on 17 May 2017, ” the JOIDES Resolution will follow a path from the Gulf of Mexico in FY2020 to the South Atlantic, starting to drill in that region.
