Expedition News

The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) routinely operates two scientific ocean drilling platforms: the U.S.-operated JOIDES Resolution and the Japanese-operated Chikyu. In addition, mission specific platforms (MSPs) are used for drilling in uniquely challenging environments such as the Arctic or shallow coral reefs. An international team of scientists and crew are on each expedition. Visit the links below for the most up-to-date ship schedules and daily and weekly ship reports.
