JOIDES RESOLUTION

Science in Search of Earth's Secrets

What is the JOIDES Resolution?

The JOIDES Resolution (JR) is a research vessel that drills into the ocean floor to collect and study core samples. Scientists use data from the JR to better understand climate change, geology and Earth’s history. It is a part of the International Ocean Discovery Program and is funded by the National Science Foundation.

For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person School of Rock is back, for an exciting partnership with the American Geosciences Institute! This February, educators from all around the USA will travel to the port of Tarragona, Spain, to board the JOIDES Resolution. Over the course of 10 days, participants will tour the ship to learn about IODP science and ship operations, speak with scientists and technicians, and collaborate to enhance the educational offerings of the International Ocean Discovery Program.
