Scientific drilling beneath the oceans solves earthly problems. by Neville Exon

Abstract
Australia and New Zealand are partners in the world’s largest international geoscience program, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), which involves both geoscientists and microbiologists. IODP takes sediment and rock cores from as deep as several kilometres below the sea bed, in order to explore how the Earth has worked in the past and how it is working now. Many ocean drilling expeditions have been carried out in our region since the early 1970s and a great amount of fascinating scientific knowledge of global significance has been gained.

The Australian Journal of Maritime & Ocean Affairs is designed for the broad audience. I encourage our members to consider writing articles for the journal or news items for its stable mate, the Australian Maritime Digest, as outreach to the broad marine community. For further information contact the Business Manager, phone 02 6295 0056, email admin@aama.asn.au, or visit the website at www.aama.asn.au
