Feedback are welcome on issues raised at the meeting .
This coincided with the leg 187-188 changeover and allowed SciMP members to inspect the new laboratory configuration on the JR, and interview the scientific support staff. In particular, the MSCL track was not operational during leg 187. Recommendations for implementation SciMP has recommended that there be no further development of the hard-rock version of AppleCore description software. SciMP will make recommendations about a suitable alternative at the next meeting. Core description subgroup is looking at integration of the digital line scan images with core description sheets to facilitate more consistency in core description.
