Welcome to the ESSAC Website!
ESSAC is the Science Support and Advisory Commitee of ECORD
(the European Consortium of Ocean Reseach Drilling).
ESSAC is responsible for the scientific planning and coordination of European contribution to, and participation in IODP,
including nominating scientists for IODP cruises and representatives on IODP science panels and committees.
The committee consists of national delegates and alternates of the respective ECORD country member.
For more information regarding ESSAC, its country and funding agency members, the work of the ESSAC
subcommittees and the ECORD representation in IODP panels, have a look at the menu "About ESSAC".
EGU, Viena (22-27 May 2012)
Since 1968, scientific ocean drilling is recovering unique global
geological records preserved in marine sedimentary deposits and basement
rocks. These records obtained within the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP),
the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), and the Integrated Ocean Drilling
Program (IODP) have been key for major advances in our understanding of
our planet, including palaeoclimate, palaeoceanography, deep biosphere and
crustal dynamics and tectonic processes.
Global continental efforts are coordinated within the International
Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP). Funding and support for
research projects is provided to tackle challenging geoscientific themes
of socio-economic relevance such as paleoclimate, earthquakes and
volcanism, or unconventional energy resources.
The principal goals of this session are to summarize and review major
scientific achievements in ocean and continental drilling with special
emphasis on the European contributions to IODP and ICDP. Furthermore,
perspectives and visions for drilling projects using a multi-platform
approach will be tackled.
