Australian Membership of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program

综合海洋钻探计划(IODP)的成员将提供高杠杆访问最大和最有效的国际地球科学计划。 澳大利亚海洋管辖范围内的钻探结果将通过高分辨率记录对气候变化的海洋和生物反应范围、深部生物圈在形成石油和天然气矿床方面的作用、涉及成矿的热液和火成作用以及提高对世界上一些最大的地震和海啸产生过程的了解，从而了解过去气候下的海洋状况。

Membership of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) will provide high-leverage access to the largest, and most effective international geoscience program. Results from drilling within Australia's marine jurisdiction will give understanding of the oceans' state under past climates through high resolution records of the range of oceanographic and biological responses to climate change, the role of the deep biosphere in shaping oil and gas deposits, hydrothermal and igneous processes involved in ore genesis, and enhanced understanding of some of the world's largest earthquake- and tsunami-generating processes.
