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.

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.

Tracking the travels of dust – could ocean cores hold the key?
A project funded by ANZIC’s AILAF Grants aims to investigate.
We all know dust can travel on the wind… and get into everything – usually in small amounts. For researchers like Dr Sam Marx, at the University of Wollongong

Venturing deep into the past lives of coral reefs: Professor Jody Webster on IODP Expedition 389
“We are going to learn a lot. It’s going to be fascinating to see what the reef cores look like and what they can tell us. My advice – if there’s fundamental scientific questions you want to answer – keep working and keep pushing! Never give up!
