ECORD Sphere: an interactive spherical display
presenting ECORD and IODP

The ECORD Sphere presents IODP/ECORD mission, IODP expeditions and ECORD MSP concept on an interactive spherical display (spherical touchscreen). The ECORD Sphere presents its content in form of interactive illustrations, animations, photographs, video and audio material.

The scientific content focuses on an introduction to the four IODP science themes, IODP/ECORD drilling vessels, selected IODP/ECORD expeditions covering all IODP themes, and the three IODP core repositories. It also illustrates and/or animates selected scientific data of ocean acidity, sea-level rise, draining the oceans and tectonic plates.
