Explore the core
Whether its proposing a new drilling project, securing a spot on a drilling expedition, or accessing the vast library of already collected cores, data and samples… through ANZIC, scientists from across Australia and New Zealand can explore the Earth!
Beneath the Earth’s surface lie records of 200 million years of Earth’s climatic, biological, chemical, and geological history – just waiting to be discovered. International scientific drilling programs enable scientists to access high-resolution data and samples of sediment, rock, fluids and living organisms to transform our understanding of Earth’s dynamic history, processes and structure.
ANZIC facilitates the involvement of scientists from our member institutions in the world of scientific drilling, connecting you with career-defining opportunities to enhance your research, skills and international networks. Opportunities span a wide range of fields, from the full spectrum of the geosciences to microbiology, big data, and so much more.
