澳大利亚是国际海洋发现计划的成员。这项提案是为国际海洋发现计划（IODP）的18个月成员，这是世界上最大的地球和海洋科学合作研究计划。该方案利用澳大利亚人无法利用的全球独特基础设施，进行海上取芯考察和监测仪器钻孔，研究地球的历史和当前活动。项目成果包括了解过去全球环境在多个时间尺度上的变化、深层生物圈、板块构造、资源的形成和分布以及灾害的产生。这些成果对澳大利亚的国家科学和研究优先事项以及社会和经济繁荣至关重要。

Australian Membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program. This proposal is for an 18-month membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), the world’s largest collaborative research program in Earth and Ocean sciences. The Program studies the history and current activity of the Earth by conducting seagoing coring expeditions and monitoring of instrumented boreholes, using globally unique infrastructure that Australians would otherwise have no access to. Program outcomes include understanding past global environmental change on multiple time scales, the deep biosphere, plate tectonics, formation and distribution of resources, and generation of hazards. These outcomes are paramount to Australia’s national science and research priorities, and societal and economic prosperity.
