International Ocean Drilling Programme

IODP research at Leicester

Leicester has a strong track record of scientific ocean drilling research using material recovered and data generated by the International Ocean Drilling Programme (IODP3) and its predecessors. Current research themes include palaeoclimatology, palaeoceanography, petrophysics, sedimentology and stratigraphy.
