International Ocean Discovery Program

 

The IODP is an international marine research program that explores Earth's history and structure recorded in seafloor sediments and rocks, and monitors subseafloor environments.
 

Canada participates in IODP in partnership with the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD). The Canadian Consortium for Ocean Drilling (CCOD) is comprised of members from universities and government agencies. CCOD organizes IODP-related events and activities such as sessions and booths at Canadian meetings, scholarship competitions, and summer schools for students. The activities of CCOD are funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Reseach Council of Canada (NSERC).

 

 

Magellan Workshops

 

The MagellanPlus Workshop Series Program is designed to support European and Canadian scientists in developing new and innovative science proposals for submission to IODP and ICDP.

 

Proposals for potentials new workshops are invited. Please contact our International Director.
