Participation in an IODP3 drilling expedition or a SPARC (Scientific Project using Ocean Drilling Archives) expedition is a prestigious opportunity and for many researchers it is a career-building experience through collaboration and networking with outstanding researchers from around the world.
Previous experience with scientific ocean drilling is not a prerequisite, and there is even no requirement to go to sea as SPARC Expedition Science Team membership and some routes to Scientific Drilling Expedition Science Team membership involve only shore-based participation.
Second Call to Participate in IODP3-NSF Expedition 501: New England Shelf Hydrogeology now open! Offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) systems, defined as subseafloor environments with porewater that has salinity less than seawater salinity, have been documented worldwide, yet the hydrogeological, geochemical,...
Second Call to Participate in IODP3 Expedition 502: Impact of Petit-Spot Magmatism on Subduction Zone Seismicity and Global Geochemical Cycles now open! Petit-spots are a recently discovered volcanic system characterised by highly alkalic and CO2-rich basalt generated by a low...
Express your interest to take part in NEW IODP3 SPARC Expedition: Chemicaland Energy exchanges between mantle, Magma and Seawater (CHEMS)! Formation, aging and recycling of oceanic lithosphere are fundamental components of plate tectonics, which drives global cycles of energy and...
Express your interest to take part in NEW IODP3 SPARC Expedition: MESMERIC! Continental breakup and ocean opening are fundamental processes of the Earth system. They involve progressive thinning of the continental crust, upwelling of asthenospheric mantle and ultimately lead to...
Express your interest to take part in NEW IODP3 Expedition: Into the Nadir! Impacts of asteroids or comets are a very important Earth hazard over geological time scales. A recent IODP drilling expedition showed that collision of a 12 km...
