WELCOME TO THE ECORD WEB SITE !
Ocean-floor drilling provides essential material for studying of climate changes, bio-diversity, geophysics and geodynamics. Since 2003, the European Consortium for Ocean Drilling Research (ECORD) participates in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) under a single banner and works alongside the U.S.A, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand and India. Being a member of IODP provides ECORD scientists to take part in all exciting opportunities of the program.

ECORD is also responsible for operating the mission-specific platform (MSP) expeditions in challenging environments like ice-covered areas and shallow seas. ESO is the ECORD Science Operator and ESSAC the ECORD Scientific Committee.
