520 1 Exploring the Earth under the Sea brings to life the
world's largest and longest-lived geological research
program, which has been drilling over many decades at many
locations deep below the ocean floor to recover continuous
cores of sediment and rock. Study of these materials has
helped us understand how the Earth works now, how it has
worked in the past and how it may work in the future. The
cores are a wonderful source of information on the dynamic
processes that form and reform the Earth, both beneath the
ocean and on land. The results have revealed climate and
oceanographic change on different time frames, the history
of life in the sea and on land including global mass
extinctions, the extraordinary story of the great masses
of 'extremophile' microbes that live beneath the sea bed,
the nature of the giant earthquakes and tsunami generated
at the trenches where tectonic plates collide, and the
nature of submarine volcanoes and metalliferous deposits.
This book outlines the technology and enduring
international partnerships that underlie the scientific
ocean drilling accomplished by the first phase of IODP,
currently involving 23 countries. It highlights the
important role of Australian and New Zealand scientists in
the program, and the great scientific benefits we have
derived from our partnership since joining IODP in 2008.
As well as the scientific summaries, there are personal
accounts by shipboard scientists of how they found life at
sea on two-month expeditions, working 12-hour shifts on a
noisy drill ship.
