Abstract

Australia and New Zealand are partners in the world’s largest international geoscience program, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), which involves both geoscientists and microbiologists. IODP takes sediment and rock cores from as deep as several kilometres below the sea bed, in order to explore how the Earth has worked in the past and how it is working now. Many ocean drilling expeditions have been carried out in our region since the early 1970s and a great amount of fascinating scientific knowledge of global significance has been gained.
