Drilling into the seafloor recovers cores of sediment and rock. These cores record Earth's past climate and oceans, life buried deep below the seafloor, and the forces behind earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis.

What they work on
- Manage the U.S. Science Support Program Office for the International Ocean Discovery Program, helping U.S. scientists use ocean drilling platforms to study ocean variability, subseafloor life, Earth's deep processes and geohazards.
- Coordinate review of U.S. proposals and ship staffing through the U.S. Science Advisory Committee, and encourage working groups and new drilling proposals.
- Administer subawards supporting U.S. participation in ocean drilling, and support training of new scientists and public outreach on ocean science.
More about the research
Scientific ocean drilling is one of the main tools for reconstructing Earth's history and understanding how the environment may change in the future. Because drilling ships are shared international platforms, scientists need organized support to propose expeditions, sail on them and use the results.
Why it matters
Ocean drilling records help scientists understand past climate and ocean change. They also show the processes behind earthquakes, submarine landslides and tsunamis. By coordinating U.S. participation in international drilling expeditions, this office helps produce knowledge that could inform coastal hazard preparedness and planning for long-term environmental change.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
