Costs to keep ocean drilling ship in port.
- Authors
Jones, Nicola
- Abstract
The article reports on the cost governing the launch of Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's (IODP) JOIDES Resolution, an ocean drilling ship in the U.S. It reveals that the battles over government spending have some in the drilling community concerned that the programme's cost will make it a tough sell going forwards. It also notes that the expedition highlights an ongoing emphasis on the studies of geophysics and past climates that has dominated the programme's initial ten-year mandate.
