New ECORD members
Welcome to Poland, the 18th member of ECORD and the 25th member of IODP. Poland joined ECORD on December 14, 2011, when Jerzy Nawrocki, Director of the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute (PGI-NRI), signed the ECORD MoU in Warsaw.Catherine Mével then gave a presentation to Polish scientists interested in developing more contacts with the drilling community in ECORD member countries and internationally. The next IODP mission-specific platform (MSP) expedition will be operated by the ECORD Science Operator (ESO) in the Baltic Sea in 2013, an area of strong interest to Poland. Although most of the PGI-RTI's marine activities have been conducted in the Baltic Sea, there is a move to expand the scope of marine sciences in Poland and to plan to build a Polish research vessel in the near future. These plans will ensure that Poland will play an active role as a member of ECORD. >> ECORD delegates and alternates for Poland are: ECORD Council Delegate: Jerzy Nawrocki (PGI-NRI), Alternate: Piotr Krzywiec (PGI-NRI) ESSAC Delegate: Szymon Uscinowicz (PGI-NRI), Alternate Piotr Przezdziecki (PGI-NRI). |

| Belgium and Ireland join ECORD and IODP on 2005 "Belgium and Ireland were members of ODP and unfortunately were not able to join ECORD in the first year of IODP. We are happy to welcome in May 2005. It is good timing as this month, the JOIDES Resolution is drilling the Modern Carbonate Mounds: Porcupine Drilling (IODP Expedition 307). These mounds were the subject of EC-sponsored programmes, in which Belgium and Ireland played a major role. The drilling is the ultimate phase because it allows sub-surface sampling and groundthruthing the interpretation of seismic data. This demonstrates the necessity of ties between EC-funded programmes and IODP to fully address major earth science questions. Before the JOIDES Resolution sails to the Porcupine Seabight, the portcall in Dublin was an excellent opportunity to advertise IODP to the Irish scientific community and to the public in general." Catherine Mével, ECORD Managing Agency Director, May 2005 |
