IODP advances the scientific understanding of the Earth and unifies the international research community to explore Earth’s last exploration frontier, the ocean’s seafloors. The current ANZIC consortium joined the new phase of IODP in September 2013. Australia’s participation is funded under an Australian Research Council Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) grant, whilst New Zealand’s participation is provided principally through GNS Science and other partnership contributions from NZ universities and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

For decades, Captain Flinders’ grave had been concealed beneath Euston train station, the site of the former St James’ burial ground. Archaeologists excavating the area to make way for the HS2 high speed rail project found Captain Flinders’ Bungaree, coffin, thanks to a well-preserved lead breastplate – a fortuitous crew member on identifier, as his headstone had been removed in the 1840s. the Norfolk and HMS Investigator The discovery, 216 years after Captain Flinders circumnavigated Image courtesy Australian Museum Australia, provides a timely reminder of his innovations in navigation and cartography, ground-breaking scientific work, embracement of technology, sense of adventure, and his him the first Australian to sail around his native continent. strength of character to achieve feats of great difficulty.

The School review highlighted shortcomings in the School’s governance and strategic planning processes. This triggered a complete overhaul of the School’s governance structure, replacing the School’s previous cluster and disparate research group structure with seven similar sized and coherent research groups: Biogeochemistry, Climate and Fluid Physics, Earth Dynamics, Experimental Petrology, Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Palaeoenvironments, and Seismology and Mathematical Geophysics. Three new portfolios were created: Research, Engagement and Experience, alongside the existing Education and Higher Degree Research portfolios, with each headed by an Associate Director representing the portfolio on the School’s Executive.
