IODP Announcements

General Announcements:

• ESSAC and J-DESC are holding a workshop on the future of scientific ocean drilling, with Phase 1 taking place online in January 2023. Scientists from the whole international geoscience community are invited to participate.
• Read the press release about Expedition 397 (Iberian Margin Paleoclimate), which sample rapidly accumulated marine sediments near Portugal to shed new light on the growth and decay of large ice sheets for the last 3 million years.
• Submit an abstract to the joint IODP-ICDP session (Session 208) taking place at the INQUA 2023 Conference (Rome, Italy; July 14-20, 2023) by the November 1, 2022 abstract deadline. 
• USSSP has delivered Science Mission Requirements to NSF for a globally ranging, riserless, U.S. drilling vessel to address the high-priority scientific objectives outlined in the 2050 Science Framework.
• The JOIDES Resolution Facility Board as released Proposed Proposal Guidelines for a future U.S. drilling vessel.
• JAMSTEC has reopened its IODP data website Sio7. Read the message from JAMSTEC for more information.
• ECORD has postponed Expedition 377 (Arctic Ocean Paleoceanography) by two to three years due to uncertainties regarding regional safety issues in implementing the expedition as currently planned.
• IODP has been endorsed as part of the first set of Decade Actions of the UN Decade of Ocean Science. Learn more about participating in the NSF & the Ocean Decade: A Resource for Researchers guide.
