Today we returned to the Napier port. We were pleased to have a very successful voyage, with 34 out of 35 ocean bottom instruments retrieved, and 100% recovery of ocean bottom seismometers and pressure sensors. In the next months and years we will be busy analyzing the data to learn more about earthquakes, plate tectonics, and slow slip of the Hikurangi margin offshore Gisborne and Napier, New Zealand. We thank Captain Tom Desjardin and the crew of the R/V Roger Revelle for a safe and successful voyage, and we think you, our blog readers, for checking in and sharing in our adventure.
