Announcements
Consensus and Action Items from the August 2020 JOIDES Resolution Facility Board meeting and the September 2020 IODP Forum and PMO meetings are available.
New Policy: The IODP Code of Conduct and Anti-Harrassment Policy has been approved by IODP's Program Member Organizations and is now posted with other IODP-wide policy documents.
SiO7 temporarily offline: The Chiyku IODP data website SiO7 is currently offline while undergoing a security review. If you require data from SiO7 during this period, please contact the Mare3 staff.
Welcome: Charna Meth has been selected as the new Executive Director of the IODP Science Support Office at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. We thank Holly Given for her service and commitment to the IODP, and congratulate her on her retirement.
Expeditions schedule updated: The JR Science Operator has updated its operations schedule for 2021 and 2022 in light of decisions by the JR Facility Board and constraints due to COVID-19.
A new version of the IODP Proposal Submission Guidelines which describes the joint submission and review process for "Land 2 Sea" drilling proposals implementing jointly by IODP and ICDP was approved in July.
About Sample Requests: IODP sample requests are being accepted but completion and shipment of requests may be delayed due to Covid-19. For the current status of each IODP core repository, contact the repository curator.
Now Sailing: South Atlantic Transect Reentry Installations
The JOIDES Resolution is installing reentry systems at five sites in advance of future expeditions. The sites form a transect starting near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and moving away into progressively older basaltic crust. Future expeditions will examine how crustal alteration proceeds over time.
Recently Complete (September 2020): JOIDES Resolution Engineering Testing
Expedition 384 performed engineering testing at sites of opportunity in the North Atlantic. Testing focused on deep (>1 km) drilling and coring in igneous ocean crust, following some recommendations made by the Deep Crustal Drilling Engineering Working Group and the JR Facility Board.
JOIDES Resolution Ship Track

| As approved by the JRFB in May 2019: "The JR is expected to operate in the Equatorial and North Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Mediterranean, Caribbean, and the Arctic in 2021 and 2022, and to complete its circumnavigation with a return to the eastern Pacific region by 2023, the western Pacific in 2023-2024, and potentially the Indian Ocean by the end of 2024." |
