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.
ANZIC Prize for Best Student Publication
Calling all students!
Have you got a stellar publication in scientific drilling? The ANZIC Prize for Best Student Publication is your chance to shine!
By highlighting exceptional work, we aim to support early-career researchers in continuing their engagement with ANZIC and advancing their careers in scientific drilling
Join one of FIVE 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.
Young & Cool: How and where to install observatories to study microbiology and geochemistry on the mid-Atlantic ridge flank. Learn more and register.
DeepCHG: Getting to the bottom of the Quaternary. Learn more and apply by 31 January
HOROMAN DC: Mantle Drilling and Carbon Injection. Learn more and apply by 8 May.
MANI_IN_PASTA: extracting the maximum information from existing drilling data from key deep-water formation sites in both hemispheres. Learn more and register by 15 February.
Chatham Rise Workshop: Seafloor Pockmarks and Their Role in Modulating the Release of Geologic Carbon Through Glacial Cycles. Learn more.
Call for New Zealand Representative to IODP3 Science Board
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.
Join us to showcase scientific drilling at upcoming National Conferences!
Australian Earth Sciences Convention (AESC 2026)
Let's make scientific drilling a highlight at this event!
We will hold a booth and run a workshop: Shaping the Future of Australia’s Involvement in the Global Scientific Drilling Programs.
It's on in February and we can't wait to see you there!
Ancient Genes and Climate Futures: Lucinda Duxbury on Expedition 403
Retrieving ancient DNA from beneath the Arctic Ocean is tricky, but will help reconstruct past ecosystems and predict our warmer future.

Marine Geoscience Postgrad Project Grants
Grants of up to $10,000 for Australian Honours & Postgraduates students to cover research, field work or conference attendance.
Applications are now closed.
ICDP Australia Workshop
With Australian ICDP membership imminent, join us to kick-start Australia’s participation in the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program!
Unveiling Earth’s Microbial Mysteries with IODP
If you missed this exciting seminar highlighting IODP discoveries in microbiology, you can now view the Recording! Four fabulous speakers from across three Australian Universities:
Understanding plate dynamics – Luca Magri on Expedition 402
A collection of cores – sampled in a small cross off the coast of Italy – could help settle a debate in plate tectonics that’s been running for over 30 years.
Examining the Mediterranean’s past lives & their impact on global climate: Professor Simon George on IODP Expedition 401
Past changes to the gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean created some phenomenal events and changed ocean circulation and chemistry. Scientist will drill down – on land and under sea – to understand the details.
Never miss an opportunity
