The ANZIC Office and Governing Council would like to thank everyone who nominated for the roles advertised in March. This round of rotations have now been filled but we hope members will consider nominating again in second semester whenin our next newslatter there will be another call for Science Committee members, in themes 2, 3 & 4.
Our new appointments are as follows:
Science Committee
The Science Committee welcomes three new members:
- Christina Riesselman (University of Otago, N.Z.) .
- Maria Seton (University of Sydney)
- Simon Holford (University of Adelaide)
We are also very pleased to announce that Prof. Mike Coffin of UTas has agreed to serve as the Chair of the Science committee and Dr Joanna Parr of CSIRO who will be assisting as Vice Chair. Our thanks to outgoing Chair, Rob McKay who will continue on the committee to aid a smooth transition.
NZODP
ANZIC would like to thank Chris Hollis for his committed service to NZODP over many years. Chris will stand aside from the NZODP team to focus on other commitments in the lead up to his participation in Expedition 378.
We welcome Marianna Terezow (GNS) who will replace Chris on the New Zealand team.
JRFB
Once again, thanks to Mike Coffin for his service on the JOIDES Resolution Facility Board. His term has now concluded and he will be replaced by ANZIC Program Scientist Leanne Armand.
ANZIC Office
In June, the ANZIC Office advertised for an Outreach Officer. We are pleased to say a good number of high quality applications were received and interviews will be conducted in the next week.
Expedition Staffing
Expedition 382, Iceberg Alley will sail with Dr.Linda Armbrecht as a Paleontologist (diatoms). Linda works out of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) at the University of Adelaide.
We have also gained an Education and Outreach officer, Claire Concannon of the Museum of Otago, aboard expedition 378, South Pacific Paleogene Climate.

Fifty Years of Scientific Ocean Drilling: How the Past Informs the Future
Fifty years ago, the Glomar Challenger sailed the inaugural leg of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), coring sediments from the Gulf of Mexico to initiate science-driven, broad-based exploration of the sub-seafloor. Since then, cores, logs and downhole measurements collected under the auspices of DSDP and its successor programs have been the primary means by which researchers have studied the long-term history of Earth system change, providing data of profound scientific and societal importance.
More recently, ocean drilling has explored regions once thought inaccessible, including seismogenic zones, shallow marine environments, and the Arctic and Southern Oceans, while technological advancements have improved core quality, core recovery, and borehole measurements, both wireline and observatory-based. The program currently encompasses four main science themes: climate and ocean change, biosphere frontiers, geodynamics and geohazards. This session will review achievements in addressing priorities of the IODP Science Plan, Illuminating Earth’s Past, Present and Future.
Convened by: James Wright, Yoshi Tatsumi, Leanne Armand and Anthony Morris.
