Summary
[One of the expedition scientists, Bill] Ryan was discouraged. He had invested some ten years of his professional life in studying the Mediterranean seabed with all manner of sophisticated geophysical gadgets. The role of sedimentary geoscience, paleontology/paleobiology, marine geology, and other areas of interest to the SEPM community in the success of scientific ocean drilling cannot be understated. IODP and it’s legacy programs have been operating continuously for so long that it may seem that scientific ocean drilling is a permanent fixture of Earth science.
