Australian Membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program

澳大利亚加入国际海洋发现方案：本项目是为澳大利亚加入国际海洋发现方案而设。该方案将在全世界所有海洋从最低到最高纬度回收岩芯、建立观测站并进行井下实验，以解决四个高度优先科学主题范围内有关地球历史和进程的基本问题：气候和海洋变化-阅读过去并为未来提供信息;生物圈前沿-深海生命、生物多样性和生态系统的环境作用力;地球的联系-深层过程及其对地球表面环境的影响;运动中的地球-人类时间尺度上的过程和危害。

Australian membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program: This project is for an Australian membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program. The Program will recover drill cores, situate observatories, and conduct down-hole experiments in all the world's oceans from lowest to highest latitudes to address fundamental questions about Earth's history and processes within four high-priority scientific themes: climate and ocean change - reading the past and informing the future; biosphere frontiers - deep life, biodiversity, and environmental forcing of ecosystems; earth connections - deep processes and their impact on earth's surface environment; earth in motion - processes and hazards on a human time scale.
