Aboard the research vessel Pelican, Shaily Rahman and her team process a sediment core collected from the Mississippi Delta seafloor in the Gulf of Mexico. Subsequent studies of this core and other evidence will lead to better understanding of extreme disturbances to the sedimentary silica cycle, specifically Hurricane Ida.
