Take the U.S. Community Survey!

All U.S. scientists with an interest in scientific ocean drilling are asked to participate in an online survey to define the community’s breadth and needs for future resources.  We seek to have participation from all scientific disciplines, career stages, and levels of prior involvement.

We’re here to help…

The U.S. Science Support Program (USSSP) facilitates the U.S. scientific community’s participation in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). We have funding for workshops, slides for presentations, and ideas for broader impacts. Need funding or need to know how to access data? Can’t figure out who to contact in IODP or where to turn?
