Introduction
This addendum to the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391 Scientific Prospectus (Walvis Ridge Hotspot; Sager et al., 2020) incorporates minor coordinate changes to Proposed Sites CT-5A, CT-6A, TT-3A, TT-4A, TT-5A, VB-7A, VB-8A, VB-10A, VB-11A, VB-13A, and VB-14A. The revised site coordinates are documented in Proposal 890-Add2, which is available at http://iodp.tamu.edu/scienceops/expeditions/walvis_ridge_hotspot.html.
In addition, because of adjustments to the R/V JOIDES Resolution operations schedule caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the expedition was postponed by a year. At the time of publication of this addendum, the expedition is scheduled to start in Cape Town, South Africa, on 6 December 2021 and end in Cape Town, South Africa, on 5 February 2022.
For a detailed description of the geologic background, scientific objectives, drilling and coring strategy, logging strategy, sample and data sharing strategy, and proposed sites, see Tables T1 and T2 in this report and the Expedition 391 Scientific Prospectus (Sager et al., 2020).
