The Ocean Drilling Program is supported by 21 countries. Australia contributes as a 1/3 member of a consortium with Canada, Chinese Taipei, Korea. The drillship JOIDES Resolution is the unique facility allowing researchers access to the environmental and geological data recorded in the seafloor.
In 2002 the JOIDES Resolution will be drilling sites of international importance in the study of the deep biosphere; deep sea gas hydrates; oceanic crust generation and evolution (utilising real time geochemical and geophysical experiments in the crust); and past ocean circulation, sea surface temperature and productivity. Fourteen Australian Universities, CSIRO and AGSO support ODP and provide scientists for pre- and post-drilling research and postgraduate training.

The drillship JOIDES Resolution is the unique facility allowing researchers access to the environmental and geological data recorded in the seafloor.
2003 is the final year of the Program. The ship, during this historic year, will be drilling sites of international importance in the study of oceanic crust generation; past extreme climates linked to mass extinctions; past ocean chemistry and circulation; and the formation of continental margins. Fourteen Australian Universities, CSIRO and AGSO support ODP and provide scientists for pre- and post-drilling research and postgraduate training.

Summary
High-resolution ITRAX XRF core scanning facility for global change research. This facility will enable researchers to obtain high-resolution geochemical profiles in the study of environmental change and climate variability. It will provide archive data on the variation of density and chemical element composition along sediment and soil cores, rock cores, wood samples, speleothems and corals. These archives contain important information such as human activity, climate variability, water quality c ....High-resolution ITRAX XRF core scanning facility for global change research. This facility will enable researchers to obtain high-resolution geochemical profiles in the study of environmental change and climate variability. It will provide archive data on the variation of density and chemical element composition along sediment and soil cores, rock cores, wood samples, speleothems and corals. These archives contain important information such as human activity, climate variability, water quality changes, pollution histories, recent geomorphological change, land-use change, introduction of invasive species and the occurrence of bushfires. A better understanding of the occurrence and timing of these major environmental issues is of national and regional importance.Read moreRead less

Summary
Single-grain optically-stimulated luminescence and dosimetry instruments to service the Sydney metropolitan and greater New South Wales region. This equipment will support projects that address significant environmental challenges in Australia, such as climate change and variability, coastal management and sustainable river and water management, and that assess the impacts and consequences of these challenges for populations living in environmentally sensitive areas. These projects will build on ....Single-grain optically-stimulated luminescence and dosimetry instruments to service the Sydney metropolitan and greater New South Wales region. This equipment will support projects that address significant environmental challenges in Australia, such as climate change and variability, coastal management and sustainable river and water management, and that assess the impacts and consequences of these challenges for populations living in environmentally sensitive areas. These projects will build on established collaborations in Australia, Antarctica and the south-west Pacific and encourage new collaborations with south-east Asian, Egyptian and Argentinean researchers, which will promote Australian research on a world stage. The use of this equipment will also pioneer new dating methodologies to further enhance Australia's place at the forefront of geochronology.Read moreRead less
