  3. Chapter IA Brief History of Scientific Drilling

  4. Drilling for Science Scientists have been using drilling technology to understand Earth’s history and dynamics since 1958. • Project Mohole (1958 -1966): Historic • Deep Sea Drilling Project (1968 -1983): Linear • Ocean Drilling Program (1985 - 2003): Collaborative • Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (2003 – 2013): Global • International Ocean Discovery Program (2013 - ): Global

  5. Project Mohole • Project Mohole attempted to drill through Earth’s oceanic crust to the Mohorovicic Discontinuity and retrieve a sample of the mantle. • Project Mohole recovered the first sample of oceanic crust. • Although the mantle was never reached, Project Mohole showed that deep ocean drilling was a viable means of obtaining geological samples. IODP-MI

  6. Deep Sea Drilling Project(DSDP)1968-1983 During worldwide operations, Glomar Challenger sailed 96 Legs and drilled 624 sites. IODP-MI

  7. DSDP Scientific Highlights DSDP: Verified the theory of plate tectonics; Discovered that Antarctica has been ice-covered for 20 million years; Showed that the Mediterranean Sea completely dried up between 5 and 12 Mya. IODP-MI

  8. Ocean Drilling Program(ODP)1985-2003 During ODP, the JOIDES Resolution sailed 110 Legs and drilled 650 sites. IODP-MI

  9. ODP Scientific Highlights ODP: Defined the longest record of Earth’s natural climate variability; Collected the first marine record of the K/T boundary; Successfully sampled gas hydrates. IODP-MI

  10. Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) • The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program was the most ambitious of these scientific drilling programs involving: • International partnerships • Multiple Drilling Platforms • Well-defined scientific goals

  11. Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) : International Multi-platform Operation MSP Arctic Expedition Chikyu Joides Resolution IODP-MI/CDEX

  12. IODP Partnerships • Lead Agencies: • Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Technology (MEXT) • The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) • Contributing Member • European Consortium of Ocean Research Drilling Managing Agency (ECORD) 18 countries • Associate Member: • The People’s Republic of China Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) • Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM/Korea) • Australia-New Zealand IODP Consortium (ANZIC) • India Ministry of Earth Science (MoES) • Coordination for improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES/Brazil)

  13. IODP Structure • Lead Agencies • U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) • Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) • Central Management Organization: (IODP - Management International) • Washington, D.C. • Tokyo, Japan • Implementing Organizations (IOs) • CDEX of JAMSTEC (Japan’s Center for Deep Earth Exploration) • USIO (Ocean Leadership, Texas A&M University, and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) • ESO (ECORD Science Operator) • Science Advisory Structure (SAS)
