Public Information
By means of an integrated approach between the ECORD entities (ESO, EMA and ESSAC) and with all IODP partners, various materials, resources and events are developed to share and disseminate the information about IODP, and to promote the scientific ocean drilling program to a broader audience.
>> Read a comprehensive lecture "ECORD/IODP Outreach" given by Alan Stevenson, May 2008.

• ECORD/IODP Program Materials:
Different types of materials can be used for promotional events and are available for download (high-resolution copies) from ECORD web sites or upon request (see Contacts).
  • ECORD Publications: ECORD posters, brochures, newsletters are regularly edited and are currently available as electronic files or paper copies.

  • Arctic Photo Exhibition: "Journey into the Ice" is a photographic exhibition by Hannes von der Fecht. All pictures have been taken during the Arctic Coring Expedition.
  • Core Replicas: Four replicas of ODP and IODP drilled cores are available for display at temporary exhibitions and conferences in Europe:
    • Arctic Coring Expedition (IODP Expedition 302),
    • Tahiti Sea Level Expedition (IODP Expedition 310),
    • PETM - Early Cenozoic Extreme Climates: The Walvis Ridge Transect (ODP Leg 208),
    • K/T boundary - Black Nose Paleoceanographic Transect (ODP Leg 171B).

  • Logos: ECORD and IODP logos are downloadable as high-resolution or print-quality images (300 dpi, CMYB) - in ai (Illustrator - vectorised), eps and jpg formats, and as low-resolution pictures for web and electronic use (72dpi, RGB) in jpg format.
