South Pacific Paleogene Climate
IODP Expedition 378 will investigate Cenozoic climate and oceanography through a drilling transect in the South Pacific Ocean.
JR Academy
During Expedition 385T, IODP has partnered with Whatcom Community College to offer the JR Academy – an IODP first! One…
Te Kura Kohatu – School of Rock 2018
School of Rock 2018 will focus on Pacific Rim geology and the science research of the JOIDES Resolution. Field trips will explore the fascinating geological history of the Auckland NZ region, including arc and intraplate volcanism (Rangitoto Volcano above), and deep sea sedimentary processes.
Brothers Arc Flux
Expedition 376 will study submarine hydrothermal systems at the Brothers Volcano in the Kermadec-Tonga Arc.
Hikurangi Subduction Margin Coring and Observatories
Scientists will study core samples and install two observatories to better understand the processes and conditions that underlie slow slip events at the Hikurangi Subduction Zone.
Creeping Gas Hydrate Slides and Hikurangi LWD
Expedition 372 investigates slow slip events (SSEs) on subduction faults, as well as actively deforming gas hydrate-bearing landslides. The Hikurangi margin east of New Zealand is a unique study area that allows scientists to address both research topics.
Tasman Frontier Subduction Initiation and Paleogene Climate
Expedition 371 aims is to improve the understanding of the role of plate tectonics in global climate evolution over the past 60 million years. To achieve this, the expedition primarily focuses on obtaining a precise date and metics which will allow the testing of alternate geodynamic models.
Louisville Seamount Trail
Scientists studied cores to better understand the movement and evolution of a hotspot that created a chain of underwater volcanoes.
South Pacific Gyre Microbiology
Scientists penetrated a total of 630 m at seven different drill sites to define the physical and chemical limits of subseafloor microbial life in tectonic and oceanographic settings not yet explored.
Wilkes Land Glacial History
Scientists took cores from the seafloor to investigate when and why the ice sheet started growing on Antarctica and how the ice sheet has grown and melted during the last 35 million years.
