Earth and life processes discovered from subseafloor environments : a decade of science achieved by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) /
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP: 2000-2013) has provided crucial records of past and present processes and interactions within and between the biosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. Research in IODP encompasses a wide range of fundamental and applied issues that af...
