- Present DESClogik to the on-coming micropaleontologists, sedimentologists, petrologists, and structural geologists regarding data entry, uploading, retrieving and in the context of the VCDs, together with publication specialist. Present the work flow process. Explain any best practices and workarounds DESClogik may require. See V:\IODP_Share\ALL things DESClogik\Technician Guides and Quick Starts for cheat sheets.
- Ask the curator to set-up user accounts (individual accounts) and privileges, they may need to work with the developers. Make sure they work before your lab introduction and have the description team log into every account during or after intro.
- To aid in communication, ask the MCs (IT people) to setup email distribution groups for the various teams according to their disciplines. Typically, there will be groups like paleontology, sedimentology, or structure on most sediment cruises. You may break up groups as you see fit by using the shipboard participant lists on the ship website. Include the Publication Specialist and yourself in these e-mail groups.
- Prepare core lab according to Core Lab SOP. This includes bringing out hand lenses, diluted HCl, aluminum core scrapers, clipboards, goniometers etc… Also, check to see that the description table lifts work properly.
- Run SEM and sputterer with test sample if you have not already.
- Hands-on training in Core description workflow, including the SHIL and SHMSL, and SEM training for science party.
- Develop new templates for core describers. As applicable, use an analogous template from a previous expedition as the basis for a new template. Scientists may have suggestions for an appropriate similar expedition. This process should be a continuation of your port call activities. Have the scientists code their edits in green, yellow and red on the Excel sheets you give.
- Create an expedition specific template in LIVE that displays core images, lithology, and SHMSL data. Encourage its use for checking for gaps and overlaps.
- Implement changes requested by core describers and paleontologists into templates (incl. value list changes and template reconfigurations, etc.). If time permits, have description team practice describing play core together, and entering data into their DESClogik template under expedition TEST samples.
- Modify an existing smear slide log sheet/microscopic smear slide template to match each other as per scientist wishes. The microscopic template should match the SS Log fairly well. This template should be developed simultaneously, if time permits, with the macroscopic template. However, if you are pressed for time you can proritize the macroscopic template first, since SS samples are almost always logged on paper.

- Write the end-of-Expedition technical report, give a copy to the Lab Officer.
- Make sure all data are uploaded to LIMS before the Developers/MCSs cut off database access; this requires coordination between the descripotion description team, EPM an and Developers/MCSs. You will need 3 hours after database is closed to complete all your exports. Export DESClogik data workbooks and copy them, value lists, thin section reports, thin section report builder definitions, pdfs of smear slide log sheets and or other paper logs to data1 to be taken to shore. Save all SEM files to data1. Erase all non-essential data from the hard disks of all the computers, and mail all log sheets back to shore. Check with ALOs for a data box.
- Keep copies of all exports in the All things DESClogik expedition folder in a separate folder called "Final Exports".
- Pack up equipment being returned for repairs and give the Assistant Lab Officer the following information: IODP inventory number, value, weight, serial number, model number, vendor's name and country of manufacture. Give the Lab Officer a list for port purchases if any.
- Clean the lab and assigned area following the cleaning instruction listed in the Core Lab Handbook and by the authority of the mighty LO. Bring all the trash to the incinerator. Glass and sharps are disposed of in port call.
- Clean SEM, sputterer. NO acetone!
- Verify all SEM pictures were uploaded to LIMS
- Perform the end of Expedition maintenance as listed in the Core Lab Handbook.
