IODP Drilling Proposals page
The International Ocean Discovering Program (IODP) is based on proposals to use the IODP drilling platforms for hypothesis-drive science in line with the IODP Science Plan “Illuminating Earth’s Past, Present and Future”. Drilling proposals are peer-reviewed within the IODP framework by the Science Evaluation Panel (SEP) aided by anonymous external reviewers in a process facilitated by the Science Support Office.
Drilling proposals can target any of the four principal themes and related initiatives outlined in the IODP Initial Science Plan:
- Climate and Ocean Change: Reading the Past, Informing the Future;
- Biosphere Frontiers: Deep Life, Biodiversity, and Environmental Forcing of Ecosystems;
- Earth Connections: Deep Processes and Their Impact on Earth«s Surface Environment
- Earth in Motion: Processes and Hazards on Human Time Scales
