IODP³ Expedition 502 is preparing to sail and four excited ANZIC expeditioners are contributing in diverse ways.

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.

ANZIC invites proposals from Australian & New Zealand scientists and educators for our Continental & Ocean Research & Drilling (CORE) Funding.

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.

We’re proud to announce the ANZIC Prize for Best Student Publication in scientific drilling, fostering community, celebrating excellence, and recognising outstanding contributions to scientific drilling research.
Apply now to showcase your contribution to the ANZIC community.

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.
