Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme (IODP)


NERC funds the UK’s subscription for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme (IODP) enabling UK researchers to participate in this international research programme exploring the Earth’s history and structure recorded in the seafloor sediments and rocks.

This provides important information about plate tectonics used for understanding hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis, and about past climate change and environmental conditions.
