Expedition yields unexpected clues to ocean mysteries

A University of Houston geoscientist and his colleagues reveal new discoveries about Earth's development, following a major international expedition that recovered the first-ever drill core from the lower crust of the Pacific Ocean. Jonathan Snow and Kathryn Gillis led a team of 30 researchers from around the world on the expedition, finding a few surprises upon penetrating the lower crust of the Pacific. Their findings are described in the Dec. 1 issue of Nature.
