Engage with our community
There’s always so much happening across our ANZIC community – in our region and all around the world. Catch up with the latest news, events, and find ways to engage even more deeply in the world of scientific drilling.
Proposal-planning workshops
Join us for our Coring Australasia workshop!
ANZIC is bringing great minds together to create and coordinate offshore and onshore coring proposals in the Australasian region.
Together we can leverage shared infrastructure, strengthen scientific outcomes and maximise opportunities for vessels and drilling platforms to operate in the region.
International proposal-planning workshops
Combine your expertise with scientists from around the globe to create viable drilling proposals for these IODP3 or ICDP projects. Remember that ANZIC Travel Support is available to help you travel to workshops like these.
Go Beyond the Limit: Defining the termination of habitability & the nature of the non-biosphere through deep sub-seafloor drilling. Learn more & register by 3 April.
HOROMAN DC: Mantle Drilling and Carbon Injection. Learn more and apply by 8 May.
Call: New Zealand Representative

IODP3 are seeking applications from suitably qualified and experienced scientists from New Zealand to join the Science Board of their Mission-Specific Platform Facility Board (MSP-FB).
This Science Board plays a key role in decision-making and consists of leading scientists drawn from the international scientific ocean drilling community.
Sorry, this opportunity is now closed.

From global cycles to microscopic bubbles and the sounds of science at sea!
IODP3 Expedition 502 is preparing to sail and four excited ANZIC expeditioners are contributing in diverse ways.

16 Research Institutions, One Mission: Deep Earth Discovery
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.

Megaquakes, Mudslides and ‘Bio-snot’: ANZIC Expeditioners investigate the Japan Trench
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.

Freshwater Hidden Beneath the Sea: A New Frontier for Water Security
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.

Students sailing into future careers with CAPSTAN
Thirty university students and trainers from ANZIC member institutions across Australia will get the training experience of a lifetime when they take to the seas for a circumnavigation of Tasmania aboard CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator.

Expert seminar: Prof Masao Iwa
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.
