Draft Science Plan: Comment Period Open

IODP seeks comments from the scientific community on the draft of the new science plan, which will guide scientific ocean drilling and related observatory science for a decade starting in late 2013. Input from the community on this document is critical to ensure future programmatic success. The comment period is open until September 21, 2010. Science Plan


Submit a Workshop Proposal

USSSP is currently accepting workshop proposals that promote the development of new ideas to study the Earth’s processes and history via scientific ocean drilling. Workshops may support the goals of IODP or the themes identified in the draft science plan for the post-2013 program. The proposal deadline is October 1, 2010. More Information


Juan de Fuca Expedition Sets Sail

The JOIDES Resolution is currently installing new subseafloor observatories (“CORKS”) near the coast of British Columbia.  The observatories will help establish links between fluid circulation, alteration, and geomicrobial processes, and determine relationships between seismic and hydrologic properties. A team of six outreach officers is also onboard to develop new education and communication tools. Daily Reports


NanTroSEIZE Stage 3 Begins

The Chikyu has sailed out of Shingu to begin Expedition 326, which will prepare the borehole at Site C0002 for future ultra-deep riser drilling by installing the wellhead and casing pipe. Future expeditions of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) will lengthen Site C0002 across the seismogenic zone and into the subducting crust 6,000-7,000 meters below the seafloor.  Daily Reports


IWG+: Planning for the Next Program

The International Working Group Plus (IWG+) has posted the agenda from their June 2010 meeting in Kyoto, Japan. The mission of IWG+ is to design a new drilling program that will promote the delivery of the best possible and most exciting and relevant science to the broad science community and the public. The webpage includes a timeline for planning, terms of reference, guidance to the science plan writing committee, and a list of IWG+ members and observers. IWG+ Webpage
