Acknowledgments

We thank all the members of Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 323 to the Bering Sea including the Captain, crew, drilling engineers, technicians, and those who assisted Expedition 323 on shore, including the team at Texas A&M University (TAMU), Ocean Leadership, and the National Science Foundation, for their able cooperation throughout, before, during, and after the cruise. Special thanks are expressed to the drilling team, including Stephen Midgley of IODP-TAMU and Joe "Bubba" Attryde of Transocean, who made the successful recovery of the volcanic sequence by proceeding with the extended core barrel technique rather than employing the rotary core barrel technique within the limited time that could be allocated for basement drilling of ~24 h.
