Bering Sea Floor Yields Clues to Our Warming Future
Sediment cores suggest that the region was ice-free all year and animal life was rich during the last major warm period.
Letter from the USAC Chair – December 2010
I was recently asked to speak about scientific ocean drilling at the 2011 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting.
Program Update: Integrated Ocean Drilling Program – November 2010
While the JOIDES Resolution wraps up IODP Expedition 329 South Pacific Gyre Microbiology, IODP staff at Ocean Leadership has been focused on preparing for the annual AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, which will be held from December 13 – 17, 2010.
Dead Sea Drilling to Unearth Scientific Treasures
Scientists drill into Dead Sea to extract 500,000-year-old treasures within mud and sediment
Program Update: Integrated Ocean Drilling Program – October 2010
The JOIDES Resolution is currently in transit to the second site for IODP Expedition 329 South Pacific Gyre Microbiology, which will address fundamental questions about the subseafloor biosphere by examining the composition, metabolisms, and structure of microbial communities within sediments characterized by low food availability and minimal habitation by marine microbes.
Program Update: Integrated Ocean Drilling Program – September 2010
For nearly two weeks in September, the JOIDES Resolution was working 75 kilometers west of Vancouver Island, Canada as part of IODP Expedition 328 Cascadia ACORK.
New Seafloor Observatory Takes Pulse of Planet in Pacific Northwest
A team of scientists from the Geological Survey of Canada and NEPTUNE- Canada have recently returned from a successful research expedition in the northeast Pacific, where they installed an observatory in the ocean floor about 75 km (about 50 miles) west of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Letter from the USAC Chair – September 2010
Please help shape the future of scientific ocean drilling by providing input on the draft science plan. I have just returned from the IODP Science Planning Committee meeting and an IODP symposium associated with the International Conference on Paleoceanography.
Subseafloor Observatories Installed to Run Dynamic Experiments
An international team of scientists has just returned from two months at sea near British Columbia, Canada, where they installed two observatories in the ocean floor to run innovative experiments at the bottom of the sea.
2010-2011 Schlanger Scientific Ocean Drilling Fellowship Program Winners Named
The Consortium for Ocean Leadership is pleased to announce the selection of the 2010-2011 Schlanger Ocean Drilling Fellowship recipients.
Program Update: Integrated Ocean Drilling Program – August 2010
Drilling Program (IODP) released a draft of the new science plan that will guide scientific ocean drilling and related observatory science for a decade starting in late 2013.
Program Update: Integrated Ocean Drilling Program – July 2010
Currently, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program has two expeditions underway. The JOIDES Resolution began IODP Expedition 327 Juan de Fuca Hydrogeology on July 5 in Victoria, Canada.
