International Ocean Discovery Program

The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is an international marine research collaboration that explores Earth's history and dynamics using ocean-going research platforms to recover data recorded in seafloor sediments and rocks and to monitor subseafloor environments. IODP depends on facilities funded by three platform providers with financial contributions from five additional partner agencies. Together, these entities represent 26 nations whose scientists are selected to staff IODP research expeditions conducted throughout the world's oceans. IODP expeditions are developed from hypothesis-driven science proposals aligned with the program's science plan Illuminating Earth's Past, Present, and Future. The science plan identifies 14 challenge questions in the four areas of climate change, deep life, planetary dynamics, and geohazards. Until 2013 under the name: International Ocean Drilling Program.

国际海洋发现计划（IODP）是一项国际海洋研究合作项目，旨在通过海洋研究平台，从海底沉积物和岩石中恢复记录的数据，并监测海底环境，从而探索地球的历史和动力学。该计划依赖于由三个平台提供方资助的设施，以及来自五个额外合作伙伴机构的资金支持。这些实体共同代表了26个国家，其科学家被选派参与在全球海洋中进行的IODP研究远征。IODP远征是根据计划科学规划《照亮地球的过去、现在和未来》中的假设驱动科学提案而制定的。该科学规划在气候变化、深层生命、行星动力学和地质灾害的四个领域确定了14个挑战性问题。直到2013年，该计划以国际海洋钻探计划（International Ocean Drilling Program）的名义运行。
