FEC recovery for co-chief scientist duties of Dr Heiko Pälike for IODP Expedition 320

参与大洋钻探计划(1985至2003)的欧洲研究资助机构，包括NERC，同意加入其后续计划--综合大洋钻探计划--在一个单一的欧洲保护伞下。他们通过一项联合行动成立了欧洲海洋研究钻探联合会，在国际上代表和资助欧洲的海洋钻探研究。作为一个协调的单位，经社理事会在与美国和日本建立平等伙伴关系的过程中取得了关键的质量和规模经济。我邀请我担任IODP Expeation 320联合负责人的邀请遵循了以下程序：1.我是2003年提交的IODP钻井提案626的主要支持者。在接下来的四年里，我一直在努力将项目从一个通过各种小组的提案转移到一个被选中进行日程安排的状态。2.IODP的科学规划委员会(SPC)向执行组织(IO)提供正式的联合首席科学家推荐和简历，在这种情况下，IO是作为科学操作员的美国执行组织，当项目转发给IODP业务工作队时。计划成员办公室(PMO)协助获取简历。3.IO审查联合首席科学家的建议，并根据考察科学要求、个人资历、成员国平衡和IODP以前的表现确定最合适的个人。4.IO向IODP-MI、SPC主席、项目管理干事和项目管理小组主席(如果有的话)分发了最初的联席主任人员编制战略，以征求意见。这一步骤确保了连续性，并为在发出邀请之前查明问题提供了机会。鉴于IO有责任交付探险队，他们有责任做出最后的人员配备决定。5.2006年，我被选为第320次和第321次联合远征的4名联合参谋长中的第一人，之后，该船的时间表被修改，现在最后的远征日期是2009年3月5日至5月5日。

The European research funding organisations that participated in the Ocean Drilling Program (1985 to 2003), including NERC, agreed to join its successor - the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program - IODP, under a single European umbrella. They formed the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drillling - ECORD through a joint action to represent and fund European ocean drilling studies at an international level. As a coordinated unit, ECORD achieves critical mass and economies of scale in its progress towards equal partnership with the U.S.A. and Japan. My invitation to act as co-chief for IODP Expedition 320 followed the following procedure: 1. I was the lead proponent for IODP drilling proposal 626, which was submitted in 2003. I have worked throughout the next 4 years to move the project from a proposal through the various panels to a state where it was selected for scheduling. 2. The Science Planning Committee (SPC) of IODP provides official Co-Chief Scientist recommendations and CVs to the Implementing Organization (IO), in this case USIO, the United States Implementing Organization, acting as Science Operator, when programs are forwarded to the IODP Operations Task Force. The Program Member Offices (PMOs) assist in the acquisition of CVs. 3. The IO reviews the recommendations for Co-Chief Scientists and determines the most appropriate individuals based on expedition science requirements, individual qualifications, the member country balance, and previous IODP performance. 4. The IO circulates the initial co-chief staffing strategy to IODP-MI, the SPC chair, the PMOs, and Project Management Team (PMT) Chairs (if any) for comments. This step ensures continuity and provides the opportunity for issues to be identified prior to invitations being issued. The IO has the responsibility for the final staffing decision given that they have the responsibility for delivery of the expedition. 5. I was selected as the first out of 4 co-chiefs for the joint Expeditions 320 and 321 in 2006, after which the ship's schedule was modified so that now the final Expedition dates are March 5th - May 5th 2009.
