PP030 – Science That Draws on 50 Years of Scientific Ocean Drilling Data
During 50+ years of scientific ocean drilling, over 1600 sites have been drilled and more than 360 km of core has been retrieved – mostly from the upper 1 km of seafloor sediment, but also from the crust. All data pertaining to these samples, including measurements performed shipboard and postcruise in researchers’ laboratories, are publicly available, representing a rich database containing much of what we know about the seafloor and the rocks beneath it. At the same time, computational and other analysis techniques have evolved to the point where large datasets can be brought to bear on regional- and global-scale problems. This session seeks contributions that focus on new insights gained from synthesizing scientific ocean drilling data from both soft and hard rocks, with an emphasis on syntheses across multiple eras of scientific ocean drilling; and on new methods for analyzing these data, particularly involving high-performance computing and machine learning.
ANZIC Ocean Planet Whitepaper Draft request for feedback
Dear ANZIC Community,
The ANZIC Ocean Planet Workshop, a multidisciplinary community effort, has defined scientific themes and challenges for the next decade (2023-2033) of scientific ocean drilling. We are now seeking feedback on the draft Ocean Planet White Paper from the Australian and New Zealand community, and would value your input in putting Australia’s best strategic plan forward.

Please provide your comments (in 250 words or less) on each theme in the draft White Paper for Community Feedback draft document (PDF 9.8MB). http://iodp.org.au/files/2019/06/Draft-Community-Feedback-White-Paper-ANZIC-Ocean-Planet-1.pdf
Due date for submissions is 11th July, 2019.
Please note: We are only taking into consideration feedback from the Australian and New Zealand community.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
Kind regards,
