Discovering the Earth’s deepest secrets with scientific ocean drilling
Sarah Kachovich (ANZIC-IODP, RSES, ANU)

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Scientists have been drilling the ocean floor for 55 years, in an enduring paragon of global research, over 275 expeditions. Over these years, scientific ocean drilling has continually shaped our foundational knowledge about the entire Earth system while enabling new fields of inquiry. This has resulted in a significantly broad range of accomplishments in several of the Earth science disciplines, which includes, understanding the Earth’s Paleoclimate and paleoceanographic evolution, resolving boundary conditions and sensitivity constraints for testing climate and tectonic models, instrumenting regions of severe potential geohazards and exploring the deep limits of life.

This talk will be broken into two parts. First, we will visit the legacy of the scientific ocean drilling programs. Then we will take a quick journey millions of years back in time and explore the Earth’s future that is buried in the deep.

In the second half of the talk, we will connect LIVE with the program's most famous floating laboratory, the JOIDES Resolution, where ANU’s RSES, Dr Derya Gürer is onboard. Outreach Officer, Maryalice Yakutchik and Derya will share the wonder of science and exploration on the IODP Expedition 392, which has been off the coast of South Africa for the past two months. The Australian driller onboard, Glenn Barret, will also drop in on the call to say g'day and explain the operational challenges of drilling the deep sea.

The international team of Expedition 392 have been drilling the Agulhas Plateau and Transkei Basin to reconstruct the Cretaceous–Paleogene tectonic and climatic evolution of the Southern Ocean basin and are about to wrap up operations.

Who is ANZIC?

ANZIC is a consortium of 20 Australian and New Zealand government agencies and universities who have partnered since 2006 to leverage our nations’ access to the IODP globally unique, scientific ocean drilling infrastructure. ANZIC is hosted at the ANU Research School of Earth Sciences in Office L5, Jaeger 4.
