An Introduction to
Scientific Ocean
Drilling
and the JOIDES
Resolution

…and a floating
science research
center.
It is a drillship…
The JOIDES Resolution is important!

The JOIDES
Resolution can send
drill pipe up to
8 km below the
ocean surface
![Page 5: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES …joidesresolution.org/sites/default/files/intro to JR.pdf · 2016-10-11 · Lots of cores…lots of cool tools! Different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052613/5f2a3fa36af84a649730be91/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
…contain rock, sediment,
and fossils.
After drilling cores are brought to the surface.

Cores hold clues
about the past.
![Page 8: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES …joidesresolution.org/sites/default/files/intro to JR.pdf · 2016-10-11 · Lots of cores…lots of cool tools! Different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052613/5f2a3fa36af84a649730be91/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cores help scientists study
interesting and important
questions.
What caused
the dinosaurs
(and other
organisms) to
go extinct?
How has climate
changed during
the Earth’s
history?
How have
past volcanic
eruptions
affected the
Earth?
How do plate
tectonics affect
the ocean floor? And many more!

Lots of cores…lots of cool tools!
![Page 10: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES …joidesresolution.org/sites/default/files/intro to JR.pdf · 2016-10-11 · Lots of cores…lots of cool tools! Different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052613/5f2a3fa36af84a649730be91/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Different scientists study different
parts of the core data.
See who is on board

The ship never
sleeps.

You can eat all of
the time.

What is it like to live
on the JOIDES
Resolution?
![Page 14: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES …joidesresolution.org/sites/default/files/intro to JR.pdf · 2016-10-11 · Lots of cores…lots of cool tools! Different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052613/5f2a3fa36af84a649730be91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Safety is very
important.
![Page 15: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES …joidesresolution.org/sites/default/files/intro to JR.pdf · 2016-10-11 · Lots of cores…lots of cool tools! Different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052613/5f2a3fa36af84a649730be91/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
There are LOTS of
important jobs
besides the science.

The ship is full of technology.
![Page 17: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES …joidesresolution.org/sites/default/files/intro to JR.pdf · 2016-10-11 · Lots of cores…lots of cool tools! Different](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052613/5f2a3fa36af84a649730be91/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This is the bridge – where the
captain controls the boat.

•Why is JOIDES Resolution such a special
boat? What can it do that other boats cannot
do?
•Can you remember some of the science
research done on the boat?
•Can you name some jobs done on board?
•Why do you think the boat never sleeps?
•If you could do any job on the boat what
would you do?
