Cover photograph shows “from source to sink.” Top left: High Himalayan range under the Himal Chuli peak in Central Nepal showing glaciers and deep incision of the valleys that generate the erosion flux of sediments of Himalaya rivers. Middle left: Lower Meghna River, which conveys about one billion tons of sediment per year from the Ganga and Brahmaputra Rivers to the Bengal Fan across the Bangladesh delta during the monsoon season. Bottom left: seismic cross section of Bengal Fan at 8°N drilled during Expedition 354 showing channel levee structures and fan deposition. Right: turbidite succession from a levee drilled during Expedition 354.

Acknowledgments

On behalf of the Expedition 354 science party, Christian France-Lanord and Volkard Spiess want to express their particular gratitude to Peter Molnar, Herman Kudrass, and Joe Curray for their contributions at various stages of this project. Expedition 354 would certainly not have been possible without their special input during the long-lasting construction of this project and their outstanding scientific contributions to the understanding of the Himalaya, Bengal Fan, and Indian monsoon.

Several expeditions to collect and analyze marine geophysical data and geologic samples have supported this project and have been funded through the German Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF) as cooperative work between Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR), Hannover, and Bremen University, namely Cruises SO 93/1 to /3 in 1993, Project and Cruise SO 125-Bengalseis (BMBF Grant 03G0125A), and Project and Cruise SO 188-BengalSeaLevel (BMBF Grant 03G0188A). The seismic data interpretation and drilling proposal preparation was further supported by DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) Grant Sp296/14. 


Foreword

The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) represents the latest incarnation of almost five decades of scientific ocean drilling excellence and is generally accepted as the most successful international collaboration in the history of the Earth sciences. IODP builds seamlessly on the accomplishments of previous phases: the Deep Sea Drilling Project, Ocean Drilling Program, and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. The 2013–2023 IODP Science Plan (Illuminating Earth’s Past, Present, and Future) defines four themes and thirteen challenges for this decade of scientific ocean drilling that are both of fundamental importance in understanding how the Earth works and of significant relevance to society as the Earth changes, at least in part in response to anthropogenic forcing. This phase of IODP represents a renewed level of international collaboration in bringing diverse drilling platforms and strategies to increasing our understanding of climate and ocean change, the deep biosphere and evolution of ecosystems, connections between Earth’s deep processes and surface manifestations, and geologically induced hazards on human timeframes.

The Proceedings of the International Ocean Discovery Program presents the scientific and engineering results of IODP drilling projects, expedition by expedition. As in the preceding Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, expeditions in the new IODP are conducted by three implementing organizations, each providing a different drilling capability. These are the US Implementing Organization (USIO; through September 2014) and the JOIDES Resolution Science Operator (JRSO; as of October 2014), providing the leased commercial vessel JOIDES Resolution for riserless drilling operations; JAMSTEC’s Center for Deep Earth Exploration (CDEX), providing the drillship Chikyu for riser and occasional riserless operations; and the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) Science Operator (ESO), providing “mission-specific” platforms (MSPs) for expeditions that extend the IODP operational range where neither drillship is suitable, for example, in polar environments and in shallow waters. Scheduling decisions for each capability are made by three independent Facility Boards, each of which includes scientists, operators, and platform funding partners: the JOIDES Resolution Facility Board (JRFB), Chikyu IODP Board (CIB), and ECORD Facility Board (EFB). At the beginning of the new IODP, the three Facility Boards agreed to utilize Publication Services at the USIO and now the JRSO for production of all expedition Proceedings volumes and reports.

The new IODP differs from prior scientific ocean drilling programs in that it has neither a central management organization nor commingled funding for program-wide activities. Yet, this phase of IODP retains a fundamental integrative structural element: a “bottom-up” evaluation of all proposals for drilling expeditions by a single advisory structure composed of scientists representing all international program partners. International scientists may submit drilling proposals to the Science Support Office; all submitted proposals are then evaluated by a Science Evaluation Panel in the context of the Science Plan.

The new IODP also has a second internationally integrative level for high-level discussion and consensus-building: the IODP Forum. The Forum is charged with assessing program-wide progress toward achieving the Science Plan. At present, IODP involves 26 international financial partners, including the United States, Japan, an Australia/New Zealand consortium (ANZIC), Brazil, China, India, South Korea, and the eighteen members of ECORD (Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom). This enhanced membership in the new IODP represents a remarkable level of international collaboration that remains one of the greatest ongoing strengths of scientific ocean drilling.
