Deep-Sea Drilling: Discovering New Worlds

Fig. 0.7. Layout of the deep-sea drilling vessel JOIDES Resolution. It is the successor of the
GLOMAR Challenger, but is larger, 143 m long. Therefore it can work in rougher seas and in higher
latitudes. The capacity of the many modern laboratories on board allows 50 scientists and technicians to participate. From Level 7 downhole measurements are carried out. At Level 6 drilled cores
are received and distributed to the sedimentological, petrological , paleontological, physical , and
chemical laboratories at Levels 3-6. One half of each core goes to the archives . In 1983 the Ocean
Drilling Program (ODP) began as continuation of DSDP with the participation of 10 US Institutions,
as well as Germany, France, the UK , Canada/Australia, Japan, and a consortium of the European
Science Foundation. JOIDES Resolution has been active since 1985. Texas A&M University is
managing the program [Joides Journal 1985]
