JOIDES Resolution

The JOIDES Resolution is a specialized research ship designed for scientific drilling in the ocean. Operated by the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), it allows scientists to explore the Earth's crust and gather sediment cores from below the seafloor. These cores provide valuable information about the planet's history, including climate changes and geological processes. The ship is equipped with advanced technology for drilling and laboratory analysis, enabling researchers to study everything from ancient marine life to tectonic movements, ultimately enhancing our understanding of Earth's past and present.
