Our CORE funding recipients, 2025
New projects win ANZIC funding
We’re thrilled to announce the 10 new and exciting projects to recieve our Continent & Ocean Research & Education (CORE) Funding (2025 round). We’re investing over $190,000 to help the ANZIC science community make the most of the amazing archives of scientific drilling samples and data. We received more great proposals than we could fund (around 20!), and are grateful to the Science Committee for their careful work in ranking the projects.
The funded projects are:
An ultra-high-resolution record of Earth’s magnetic field from Edisto Inlet, Antarctica
Agathe Lise-Pronovost, University of Melbourne.
Leading the pathway for an ICDP deep drilling at Lake Yamma Yamma (QLD)
Alexander Francke, University of Adelaide.
