Welcome to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program
Expedition 318: Wilkes Land Glacial History
WMU graduate student, Travis Hayden, will be part of the science staff on board the Joides Resolution from January 4 to March 9, 2010, and will be blogging to keep us up-dated on the trip.
See the video announcing the cruise at JOIDES Resolution - Ocean Drilling Research Vessel
The drilling project at the Antarctic Wilkes Land margin is designed to provide a long-term record, obtained from sedimentary archives along an inshore to offshore transect, of Antarctic glaciation and its intimate relationships with global climatic and oceanographic change.
