Short summary
Ontong Java Plateau, the largest oceanic plateau, has played a key role in the tectonics of the Ring of Fire. Volcanic ash that fell on the plateau has the potential to test competing ideas about how plates change their motion and to record ancient wind systems. Previous scientific ocean drilling drilled cores on the plateau, but the ashes have not been analysed. Expedition 504S will sample archived cores, analyse the ash, and compare it with volcanic rocks from the nearby Solomon Islands.
