Full fathom five : 15 years of Australian involvement in the ocean drilling program

The Ocean Drilling Program, which finished in October 2003, has been an international partnership of scientists and research institutions organised to explore the evolution of the Earth - looking at the past, present and future. It has been the world's largest multinational geoscience program i...
