As part of the worldwide effort to develop the next decadal plan for scientific ocean drilling, the ANZIC Ocean Planet Workshop will bring together Australian and New Zealand experts in marine geoscience and geomicrobiology relevant to drilling who wish to help formulate a new 2024-2034 science plan for ANZIC and international partners. Participants will deliberate new research frontiers, gaps in the current IODP Science Plan , and improved engineering, technological, drilling, logging, and observing capabilities. The workshop report will form the basis of Australia’s and New Zealand’s input into the next global decadal plan.
Please consider attending this important planning workshop and encourage others in your organisation to attend, especially early or mid-career researchers with an active interest in the science that can be addressed by scientific drilling. Limited funding is available to support travel and accommodation.
For those unable to attend the workshop, the convenors encourage submission of white papers on science challenges, themes and drilling targets in the coming decades. Register for attendance or white paper submission here:
Please also email nzodp@gns.cri.nz by 9 March if you plan to attend the workshop or submit a white paper.
