Australia–New Zealand Plan for Future Scientific Ocean Drilling

Abstract

A multidisciplinary community workshop has defined scientific themes and challenges for the next decade (2023–2033) of scientific ocean drilling using the capabilities of current and anticipated platforms of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).

The workshop, attended by 75 mostly early-career and midcareer participants from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the United States, featured nine keynote presentations. Working groups identified important themes and challenges that are fundamental to understanding the Earth system and are addressable only by scientific ocean drilling. Show more
