…and a floating science research
center.
It is a drillship…
The JOIDES Resolution is important!

The JOIDES Resolution can send
drill pipe over 6 miles below the
ocean surface

…contain rock, sediment, and fossils.

Cores hold clues about the past.

Cores help scientists study interesting and important
questions.
What caused the dinosaurs
(and other organisms) to
go extinct?
How has climate changed during
the Earth’s history?
How have past volcanic
eruptions affected the
Earth?
How do plate tectonics affect the ocean floor?
And many more!

Lots of cores…lots of cool tools!
![Page 11: An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling and the JOIDES Resolution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/551bd4e1550346af588b5758/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Different scientists study different parts of the core data.

JOIDES ResolutionRight now

The ship never sleeps.

You can eat all of the time.

What is it like to live on the JOIDES
Resolution?

Safety is very important.

There are LOTS of important jobs
besides the science.

The ship is full of technology.
