Scientific Ocean Drilling is a research method used to explore the Earth's oceanic crust. By drilling into the seabed, scientists can collect core samples that provide valuable information about geological processes, climate change, and the history of the Earth. This technique helps researchers understand the formation of ocean basins and the movement of tectonic plates. One of the key programs in this field is the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), which involves collaboration among scientists from various countries. The data obtained from these drilling projects contribute to our knowledge of natural resources, environmental changes, and the Earth's past climate conditions.
