Drilling for Science
Scientists have been using drilling technology to
understand Earth’s history and dynamics
since 1958.

Project Mohole (1958 -1966): Historic
Deep Sea Drilling Project (1968 -1983): Linear
Ocean Drilling Program (1985 - 2003): Collaborative
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (2003 – 2013): Global
International Ocean Discovery Program (2013 - ): Global
Project Mohole
•Project Mohole attempted to drill
through Earth’s oceanic crust to the
Mohorovicic Discontinuity and retrieve
a sample of the mantle.
•Project Mohole recovered the first
sample of oceanic crust.
•Although the mantle was never
reached, Project Mohole showed that
deep ocean drilling was a viable means
of obtaining geological samples.
IODP-MI
Deep Sea Drilling Project(DSDP)
1968-1983
During
worldwide
operations,
Glomar
Challenger sailed
96 Legs and
drilled 624 sites.
IODP-MI
DSDP Scientific Highlights
DSDP:
Verified the theory of plate
tectonics;
Discovered that Antarctica
has been ice-covered for 20
million years;
IODP-MI
Showed that the
Mediterranean Sea
completely dried up
between 5 and 12 Mya.
Ocean Drilling Program(ODP)
1985-2003
During ODP, the
JOIDES Resolution
sailed 110 Legs
and drilled 650
sites.
IODP-MI
ODP Scientific Highlights
ODP:
Defined the longest record
of Earth’s natural climate
variability;
Collected the first marine
record of the K/T
boundary;
Successfully sampled gas
hydrates.
IODP-MI
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)
•The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program was the
most ambitious of these scientific drilling
programs involving:
 International partnerships
 Multiple Drilling Platforms
 Well-defined scientific goals
