Acknowledgments
This expedition would not have been possible without the offshore participation of European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) Science Operator personnel and technical representatives Holger Kuhlmann, Luzie Schneiders, Hans-Joachim Wallrabe-Adams, and Alex Wülbers; Operations Manager David Smith; and the entire crew of the RRS James Cook. We also appreciate the hard work of the seabed drill teams—Rodrigue Akkari, Marcus Bergenthal, Siefke Froehlich, Alan Gillies, Joseph Hothersall, Kai Kaszemeik, Steffen Klar, Thorsten Klein, Marcus Kuhnert, Garry McGowan, Kees Noorlander, Iain Pheasant, Werner Schmidt, and Apostolos Tsiligiannis—led by Tim Freudenthal and Michael Wilson. We acknowledge the contribution of the RRS James Cook to the expedition by the Natural Environment Research Council (UK) and planning support by staff from the National Marine Facilities Sea Systems (UK), in particular Jeremy Evans. We are indebted to the preexpedition guidance of Steve D’Hondt, Dennis Graham, and Mark Lever on the use of perfluoromethylcyclohexane tracer, as well as to Doug Connelly and Kate Peel for graciously provisioning the expedition with a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD) for offshore tracer analysis. We acknowledge Tamara Baumberger, Rolf Pedersen, and Ingunn Thorseth for supporting preexpedition tracer testing and for provisioning the science party with a gas chromatograph equipped with a pulsed discharge ionization detector (GC-PDD) for offshore dissolved gas analysis. We are indebted to Matthew Cooper for provisioning the expedition with low organic gloves at the last minute, to Laura Bilenker for processing all of the shipboard bulk rock geochemistry samples, and to Damon Teagle for provisioning the offshore party with hand lenses. Nan Xiao provided expert assistance with postexpedition sampling at the Kochi Core Center (Japan), graciously supported by Fumio Inagaki and the Japanese ocean drilling program, and Katherine Hickok and Chris Thornton provided assistance with microbiological sample processing. We thank Marcus Motz from Develogic (Hamburg, Germany) for his efforts to design and construct the borehole plug. We also thank the entire support team at the Bremen Core Repository (Germany), led by Ursula Röhl, for their efforts during the Onshore Science Party, as well as the publications staff at the JOIDES Resolution Science Operator at Texas A&M University (USA) and David McInroy with the ECORD Science Operator for overall support. We are also thankful for the support of proponents of Atlantis Massif drilling who were unable to participate in the expedition: Muriel Andreani, John Baross, Stefano Bernasconi, Michael Cheadle, Adélie Delacour, Marguerite Godard, Philippe Gouze, Nils Holm, Benoit Ildefonse, Magnus Ivarsson, Deborah Kelley, Christopher MacLeod, Anthony Morris, and Roger Searle.
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.
