参加国际大洋发现计划IODP 361的启示

Inspirations from IODP Expedition 361

从深海钻探计划(Deep Sea Drilling Project,DSDP)、大洋钻探计划(Ocean Drilling Program,ODP)和综合大洋钻探计划(Integrated Ocean Drilling Program,IODP)发展而来的国际大洋发现计划(International Ocean Discovery Program,IODP)是由美国发起并有多国加入的大洋钻探研究计划。IODP 361计划的实施以决心号(JOIDES Resolution)科学钻探船为标志和载体,具有高度机动性、高度综合性、技术密集性、学科综合性、信息聚集性、人才国际性、研究目标全球性、产出批量性、环境封闭性、投资巨量性等一系列的特点,是地球科学、特别是全球变化研究国际合作的一个重要平台,是以海洋演化记录的揭示带动全球变化研究的引擎,也是最终认识全球变化过程与机理的知识源泉。中国作为IODP的会员国,在不断加强参加航次及科学研究的同时,充分和高效利用过去几十年培养的人才与基础知识储备,大力发展、提高大洋综合科学研究与观测能力和基础设施建设,组织国家甚至国际研究、实验研究中心及观测基地,这不但对全球变化研究十分重要,对于国家未来发展与生存空间的拓展利用也至为关键。学习"决心号"成熟的运作模式、借鉴其成功经验将对中国的科研发展起到事半功倍的作用。

International Ocean Discovery Program, or present IODP that has been evolved from the early Deep Sea Drilling Project （DSDP）, Ocean Drilling Program （ODP） and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program （IODP） is one of the international ocean drilling and exploration programs originated from USA. IODP 361 cruse supported by JOIDES Resolution is characterized of high maneuverability, high tectonic integrity, high comprehensive disciplina- ry, information aggregation, international researcher gathering, global study targeting, quantity study production, i- solated close working environments and huge investment, which is one of the most important international coopera- tion platforms of the geosciences, especially global changes. It is also one of the super powerful engines not only guiding but also pushing the study on global change via exploring the records of ocean evolution, and also the foun- tainhead to understand the processes and mechanism of the global changes. As one the main members of the IODP, China is not only participating the activities and scientific researches of IODP, but also needs to improve the capa- bilities to monitor the ocean and establish our own facilities, laboratories and research centers. These are not only very important for the global research and the future development, but also crucial for the preservation of the ocean environment. Leaning and mastering mature operation models from the JOIDES Resolution, using the experience of IODP management for reference may benefit our research work and yield twice the result with half the effort.
