The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) was an international marine research program. The program uses heavy drilling equipment mounted aboard ships to monitor and sample sub-seafloor environments. With this research, the IODP documents environmental change, Earth processes and effects, the biosphere, solid earth cycles, and geodynamics.〔(IODP mission page )〕 The program begins a new 10-year phase with the International Ocean Discovery Program, from the end of 2013. == Scope == The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) brings together scientists from different countries and scientific disciplines to conduct investigations of the Earth deep below the sea-floor. IODP gives scientists the opportunity to: # recover geological records and rock samples # investigate and document ocean- and climate-change through time # explore the presence of primitive life below the seafloor # verify remote, near-seafloor observatories # gain understanding of how tectonic plates move and recycle themselves into the deep mantle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Integrated Ocean Drilling Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
