Schedule for Expedition 317 (Canterbury Basin)

Expedition 317 to the Canterbury Basin on the eastern margin of the South Island of New Zealand is derived from the original Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) drilling Proposal 600, including addendums 600-I and 600-II (available at iodp.tamu.edu/scienceops/expeditions/canterbury_basin.html), and planned for the JOIDES Resolution, operating under contract with the U.S. Implementing Organization (USIO). The expedition is currently scheduled to begin in November 2008 and end in January 2009. The USIO expedition schedule may be adjusted depending on the completion date of the conversion of the drillship JOIDES Resolution. For the current schedule, see iodp.tamu.edu/scienceops. The operations plan in this prospectus assumes a start in Papeete, Tahiti, and an end in Wellington, New Zealand. Supporting site survey data for Expedition 317 are archived at the IODP Management International (IODP-MI) Site Survey Data Bank (ssdb.iodp.org). Details on the facilities aboard the JOIDES Resolution can be found at iodp.tamu.edu/publicinfo/drillship.html.
