Sixteen Australian and New Zealand universities and research institutions have renewed a powerful alliance to keep our scientists at the cutting edge of global Earth science.

Giant underwater avalanches that ‘ignite’, prehistoric mega earthquakes, and a curious substance nicknamed ‘bio-snot’, are among the mysteries that ANZIC-supported scientists will investigate on IODP³ Expedition 503.

Off the coast of New England lies a hidden reservoir of ancient, fresh water, locked in sediments beneath the seafloor.
ANZIC expeditioner, Dr Sara Polanco, is part of a team of scientists heading out to study it.

Join us online, or in person at the Australian National University’s Research School of Earth Sciences, to hear Prof. Iwai (Kochi University, Japan) speak about his research using IODP cores.

Applications for this opportunity have now closed.

ANZIC Expeditioner, Dr Linda Armbrecht, is part of an international team probing the sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Three ANZIC expeditioners will be onboard as IODP Expedition 405 drills deep into the fault zone responsible for Japan’s devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

ANZIC is pleased to offer Travel Support for you to attend international Proposal Planning Workshops to shape new scientific drilling plans.

Big News!
Australian scientists now have access to a more complete understanding of our planet, as Australia becomes a member of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP).
