Australian Membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program 2023-24

该提案是为国际海洋发现计划（IODP）的两年成员，该计划是世界上最大的地球和海洋科学合作研究计划。IODP成员提供了全球范围的研究基础设施，提供了独特的使能能力，以探索，采样和监测海底深处的地质和生物活动。IODP促进了对过去全球环境变化的研究，包括多个时间尺度、深层生物圈、板块构造、资源的形成和分布以及灾害的产生。 这项研究涉及多个国家科学和研究优先事项，并为未来的社会和经济繁荣奠定基础。

This proposal is for a 2 year membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), the world’s largest collaborative research program in Earth and ocean sciences. IODP membership delivers access to global-ranging research infrastructure that provides unique enabling capabilities to explore, sample and monitor geological and biological activity deep beneath the seafloor. The IODP facilitates research into past global environmental change on multiple time scales, the deep biosphere, plate tectonics, formation and distribution of resources, and generation of hazards. This research addresses multiple national science and research priorities, and underpins future societal and economic prosperity.
