Scientific drilling of the seafloor provides scientists with essential material for studying of environmental changes, deep biosphere, geophysics and geodynamics. Since 2003, the European Consortium for Ocean Drilling Research (ECORD) is the European and Canadian part of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). As part of IODP, ECORD is also responsible for operating the mission-specific platform (MSP) expeditions in challenging environments like ice-covered areas as well as in shallow seas.

Being a member of IODP provides European and Canadian scientists to take part in all programme activities.
