Drill rig control booth

Drill rig control booth on board the JOIDES Resolution.

Specialist drilling crew watch the controls carefully as JOIDES Resolution lowers a drill string below the seafloor. The core samples collected show scientists the different layers and rock types – each layer records a different time period.
