In August of 2019, Kumu Randi had the amazing opportunity to be part of an education outreach team on board the JOIDES Resolution, a research vessel dedicated to deep ocean exploration. The expedition lasted more than a month. While at sea, Kumu Randi and the other two members of the education outreach team communicated with the public about the science happening on board, supported undergraduates as they completed university courses and research projects, and collaborated to identify improvements to the education outreach position. It was an incredible adventure, and Kumu Randi is so thankful to all the people who helped her participate: Maya, Alexis, Auntie Nancy, Gail, the leadership team at HAAS, and all the EDventures families who are always so supportive.
After over 24 hours of airplane travel, Kumu Randi finally got to Antofagasta, Chile. The team spent a few days here, exploring geology and culture before getting on the research ship.
After exploring amazing geologic features in and around Antofagasta, we boarded the JOIDES Resolution. Four weeks at sea stretched before us!
