Take learning to new depths

Share the amazing word of scientific drilling with us!

Below is a collection of resources to engage students, teachers, and the wider community with an amazing array of scientific drilling discoveries, as well as inspiring learning and enrichment opportunities for postgraduate and undergraduate students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) from a variety of fields.

"I really enjoyed being so immersed in being with so many incredible people. Curiosity and interest are infectious, and being with people with the same mindset is incredibly inspiring."

I embarked on my journey with a light heart, returned with a bountiful harvest - knowledge, connections, and an invaluable experience. I strongly recommend active participation in future Summer Schools.

"Throughout the workshop, my brain was bubbling away, thinking about... how I could integrate it into my own research questions. It was an enriching environment where I could connect with new ideas and new people – fostering collaborations and friendships that I’m sure will carry me forward in my career."

“The ANZIC masterclass gave me the opportunity to try a range of fields my university doesn't offer, whilst meeting a group of people that I hope will become lifelong friends and colleagues.
An absolutely amazing experience that I would recommend most highly to all.”

Travelling to Germany and taking part in the ECORD Summer School was truly an eye-opening and fulfilling experience. Not only was it amazing to hear from experts and peers regarding their research, skills, and all things IODP, but it was also a privilege to learn it in Bremen, the location of the IODP Core Repository.

IODP courses are almost mandatory for any paleoclimatologist because the skills you develop there cannot be learned in any other place.

ECRs, POSTGRADUATE & UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Students and ECRs from ANZIC member institutes gain exclusive access to a wealth of specialised training and development opportunities in scientific drilling and related fields around the world. This can include funding to attend international workshop programs, Summer Schools and conferences to learn from and with a vibrant global community of scientists.

PRIMARY & SECONDARY STUDENTS

55 years of scientific drilling has led to countless important discoveries, from proving plate tectonics to understanding meteorite impacts and mass extinctions; from discovering life deep beneath earth’s crust to revealing 65 million years of past climate history, or understanding geohazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. Below is a collection of resources to engage students, teachers, and the wider community with scientific drilling discoveries and inspire the next generation!
