Wednesday, 25 May 1988 Joint Session of ODP Council and JOIDES EXCON (D.Heinrichs and D.Caldwell, Co-Chairmen)

438 INITIAL BUSINESS INTRODUCTIONS AND OPENING REMARKS D.Caldwell welcomed a l l p a r t i c i p a n t s , who introduced themselves and t h e i r a f f i l i a t i o n s . D.Heinrichs welcomed the ODP Council and noted t h a t J.Briden and K.Kobayashi would serve f o r Council members John Bowman and T.Nemoto, r e s p e c t i v e l y . He a l s o i n t r o d u c e d new ODP A s s o c i a t e Program O f f i c e r , John Ladd (from Lamont-Doherty), who w i l l serve w i t h NSF f o r two ye a r s . ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA Di s c u s s i o n o f f u t u r e meeting schedule (Agenda Item E6) was moved forward t o the j o i n t ODP Council/EXCOM s e s s i o n . A p r e s e n t a t i o n by J . S t e e l e on JOI Board o f Governors r a t i f i c a t i o n procedures was added t o the EXCOM Business S e s s i o n . EXCOM Motion:

EXCOM adopts the agenda f o r the 25-26 May 1988 J o i n t ODP Council and Executive Committee Meeting.

Vote: 16 f o r , 0 a g a i n s t , 0 a b s t a i n D.Caldwell remarked t h a t the subcommittee f o r review o f the EXCOM meeting agendas (Baker, H e l s l e y , Keen and Pi s i as) had developed the agenda to address long-range planning f i r s t , then present s t a t u s o f ODP, f o l l o w e d by s p e c i f i c a c t i o n items.

439 LONG-TERM SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES FOR ODP SCIENTIFIC INPUT TO JOIDES N.Pi s i as, Planning Committee Chairman, gave an overview o f JOIDES long-range s c i e n t i f i c o b j e c t i v e s , developed i n par t during d i s c u s s i o n s o f COSOD II at the A p r i l 1988 PCOM meeting. X.Le Pichon attended the PCOM meeting and presented the COSOD I I S t e e r i n g Committee's views, i n c l u d i n g these major p o i n t s : * To achieve a l l COSOD I I o b j e c t i v e s , as w e l l as those planned f o r the next

f o u r years o f ODP, s i g n i f i c a n t engineering e f f o r t s are necessary. * A planning s t r a t e g y t h a t i s experiment-oriented r a t h e r than p r o p o s a l -

o r i e n t e d i s recommended. * ODP must broaden i t s scope and a t t r a c t other s c i e n t i f i c c o n s t i t u e n c i e s , such

as g l o b a l s e i s m i c network r e s e a r c h e r s . IMPLICATIONS OF COSOD I I PCOM has d i s c u s s e d these recommendations and noted p o t e n t i a l c o n f l i c t s w i t h c u r r e n t planning s t r a t e g y . I f RFPs and s p e c i f i e d experiments d r i v e the program, t h i s narrows the broad base o f ideas a v a i l a b l e t o the program through d r i l l i n g p r o posals. Moreover, PCOM a f f i r m e d a p r o p o s a l - d r i v e n program at i t s August, 1987

meeting. P i s i a s s a i d t h a t the c h a l l e n g e f o r JOIDES i s how t o i n c o r p o r a t e COSOD II i n t o a science plan f o r ODP. P i s i a s then reviewed the s p e c i f i c recommendations o f the f i v e COSOD I I Working Groups (Appendix A) and noted some o f PCOM's responses t o them, i n c l u d i n g the f o l l o w i n g : * WG I (Global Environmental Changes) emphasized important Neogene paleo-

c l i m a t e problems, but Mesozoic c l i m a t e dynamics should a l s o be addressed. * Deep s t r a t i g r a p h i c t e s t s and mass budget problems, a COSOD I p r i o r i t y , were

not d i s c u s s e d i n the COSOD I I r e p o r t . * WG I I (Mantle-Crust I n t e r a c t i o n ) p r i o r i t i e s r e q u i r e deep c r u s t a l penetra

t i o n s (6km by the year 2000), and the t e c h n o l o g i c a l commitment t o achieve them may d e t r a c t from other o b j e c t i v e s . Other ways t o get deep s e c t i o n s (such as the u p l i f t e d s e c t i o n d r i l l e d on Leg 118) and composite c r u s t a l s e c t i o n s could be e x p l o i t e d .

* The g l o b a l arrays proposed by several working groups must be d e f i n e d more c l e a r l y : how many holes are necessary to achieve adequate coverage w i t h i n a r e a l i s t i c timeframe?

* Problems addressed by WGs II and I I I ( f l u i d c i r c u l a t i o n and t e c t o n i c processes) are not now adequately represented i n the JOIDES panel s t r u c t u r e .

* WG IV ( S t r e s s and Deformation i n the Lithosphere) advocates g l o b a l s t r e s s mapping. S p e c i f i c d r i l l i n g s t r a t e g i e s are needed, e s p e c i a l l y c o n s i d e r i n g t h a t the f i r s t 100m of d r i l l e d s e c t i o n may not y i e l d u s e f u l s t r e s s measurements.

* PCOM and JOIDES view t h a t WG V p r i o r i t i e s ( E v o l u t i o n and E x t i n c t i o n ) can be merged w i t h WG I o b j e c t i v e s . A c o n s i d e r a b l e data base e x i s t s through previous d r i l l i n g . The o b j e c t i v e s of WG V, however, have the p o t e n t i a l to a t t r a c t a new community t o ocean d r i l l i n g .

The estimated time needed t o achieve f i r s t p r i o r i t y COSOD I I o b j e c t i v e s would approach 16.6 o p e r a t i o n a l y e a r s ; a t o t a l o f about 30 years would be needed to in c l u d e s e c o n d - p r i o r i t y d r i l l i n g o b j e c t i v e s . The engi n e e r i n g requirements and necessary budget i n c r e a s e s to accomplish them were reviewed (Appendix B). P i s i a s summarized PCOM's planning concerns o f COSOD I I : a p r o p o s a l - o r i e n t e d program i s s t i l l f a vored, coupled w i t h the need t o balance community i n t e r e s t s . D i s c u s s i o n ; H.Duerbaum s a i d t h a t the purpose o f COSOD II was t o review and i n f l u e n c e long-range d r i l l i n g p l a n s . The present engineering budget f o r the remaining 4-5 years of ODP i s impacted by these recommendations. I f no engineering budget increases are forthcoming, then ODP has the o p t i o n t o : 1) focus on remaining COSOD I o b j e c t i v e s , such as r i d g e - c r e s t d r i l l i n g , or 2) exclude some COSOD I I o b j e c t i v e s u n t i l 1993, c o n c e n t r a t i n g on those p r i o r i t i e s which are a c h i e v a b l e . Other members noted t h a t requirements f o r mantle-crust i n t e r a c t i o n o b j e c t i v e s w i l l

o b v i o u s l y impact planning and budgets, whereas the o b j e c t i v e s o f WGs I and V are achievable w i t h i n the present f i n a n c e s o f ODP. P i s i a s s a i d t h a t the top p r i o r i t i e s o f COSOD I I r e f l e c t the s t r u c t u r e o f the WGs and t o p i c s l i k e r i d g e - c r e s t d r i l l i n g , a COSOD I p r i o r i t y , are s p l i t among WGs. He added t h a t the major e f f o r t f o r the next f o u r years o f ODP i s t o develop technology f o r a c h i e v i n g r i d g e - c r e s t d r i l l i n g . He s a i d t h a t , i n order t o address a l l o f the f i r s t - p r i o r i t y COSOD I I science proposed beyond 1993, a 50% in c r e a s e i n funds would be r e q u i r e d . LONG-RANGE PLANNING DOCUMENT D.Heinrichs s a i d t h a t the long-term planning document r e q u i r e d by NSF i s not r e s t r i c t e d t o post-1993 d r i l l i n g . A c l e a r management concern i s how t o get i n t o p o s i t i o n before 1993 t o address these g o a l s . H e i n r i c h s reviewed the NSF o u t l i n e f o r the long-range document (Appendix C). He s a i d t h a t the c u r r e n t MOUs wi t h the par t n e r c o u n t r i e s extend through 1993, w i t h COSOD I as the b a s i c s c i e n c e planning document f o r them. By e a r l y 1989, NSF w i l l present a long-range planning document at the ODP Council meeting which w i l l be used to ne g o t i a t e f u t u r e MOUs. The plan must a l s o s t a t e the e a r l i e s t s i g n i f i c a n t budgetary impact t o the 1993 timeframe; i f a major change i n l e v e l s o f support i s recommended, the p a r t n e r c o u n t r i e s must have sev e r a l years i n advance to plan support f o r the program. H e i n r i c h s summarized tha t the long-range plan must i n c l u d e an implementation p l a n , program p r i o r i t i e s and options f o r ODP sc i e n c e . P i s i a s reviewed the p r e l i m i n a r y o u t l i n e f o r the long-range p l a n , developed at the A p r i l PCOM meeting (Appendix D). He presented the t i m e - t a b l e f o r producing the plan (Appendix E). P i s i a s noted t h a t the thematic panel white papers w i l l be a major input t o development o f t h i s document. Appendix F provides an o u t l i n e o f these white papers. D i s c u s s i o n : D.Caldwell asked EXCOM and ODP Council t o provide guidance t o PCOM f o r developing the long-range p l a n , i n c l u d i n g " l e v e l o f e f f o r t " i n f o r m a t i o n . P i s i a s s a i d t h a t PCOM co n s i d e r s a 10-20% in c r e a s e i n l e v e l o f e f f o r t necessary, w i t h 50% the i d e a l . W.Merrell p o i n t e d out the importance t o move beyond ye a r - t o - y e a r planning i n order t o get ranges o f needed resources t o ODP funding agencies. He reminded EXCOM t h a t the op t i o n on the JOIDES R e s o l u t i o n extends f i v e years past the cur r e n t ODP program i n case long-range plans r e l y on t h a t resource. EXCOM d i s c u s s e d p r e s e n t a t i o n o f funding l e v e l s i n the long-range document. H e i n r i c h s s a i d t h a t PCOM should o u t l i n e funding o p t i o n s , l o o k i n g at COSOD II recommendations as the " f u l l " program, and present l e s s expensive a l t e r n a t i v e s as w e l l . Several EXCOM members f e l t t h a t "steady s t a t e " funding w i l l make i t hard t o j u s t i f y ODP scie n c e as "new and e x c i t i n g . " Keen suggested t h a t BCOM work c l o s e l y w i t h PCOM i n developing long-range funding o p t i o n s .

EXCOM di s c u s s e d the op t i o n o f a d d i t i o n a l or a l t e r n a t e p l a t f o r m s . P i s i a s s a i d t h a t the 50% in c r e a s e e n v i s i o n e d i n the COSOD I I r e p o r t would a l l o w development of a l t e r n a t e p l atforms ( e . g . r i s e r d r i l l i n g ) . PCOM has a l s o d i s c u s s e d the op t i o n of supply boats on longer o n - s i t e d r i l l i n g o p e r a t i o n s . A p h i l o s o p h i c a l question f a c i n g PCOM i s whether t o plan long-term s c i e n c e independent o f the c u r r e n t f a c i l i t y . D.Caldwell asked EXCOM t o frame i t s advice t o PCOM on the long-range planning document to present at the EXCOM business s e c t i o n . JOIDES ADVISORY STRUCTURE N . P i s i a s reported on the recommendations o f the JOIDES Subcommittee to review the adv i s o r y panel s t r u c t u r e . Subcommittee members were: T.Francis (PCOM), R.Heath (EXCOM), M.Langseth (PCOM), A.T a i r a (PCOM) and M.Leinen (who reviewed the re p o r t o n l y ) . He reviewed the recommendations as presented t o PCOM by M.Langseth at the A p r i l PCOM meeting. A copy of the subcommittee's re p o r t appeared i n the meeting agenda book. The group recommended t h a t a new s t r u c t u r e should be: 1) responsive t o COSOD I,..N; 2) accomplish thematic o b j e c t i v e s ; 3) o f f e r f a i r treatment o f pr o p o s a l s ; 4) accomplish long-range planning (10 y e a r s ) ; and 5) provide the best t e c h n i c a l advice f o r PCOM. The proposed s t r u c t u r e i n c l u d e s f o u r thematic panels. SOHP's c u r r e n t mandate i s too l a r g e and the subcommittee recommends t h a t the panel be d i v i d e d i n t o a dia g e n e s i s and sediment processes panel and a paleoenvironment and b i o l o g i c a l e v o l u t i o n panel. An a d d i t i o n a l t e c h n i c a l panel f o r shipboard measurements i s recommended, along w i t h b e t t e r l i a i s o n between s i t e survey and s a f e t y panels. A l s o recommended are d e t a i l e d p l a n n i n g groups (DPGs), ad hoc f i n i t e - l i f e t i m e panels appointed by PCOM. These groups would develop short-term schedules and would supercede the c u r r e n t r e g i o n a l panels. The recent East P a c i f i c Rise Working Group was recognized as a p o s s i b l e model o f how these d e t a i l e d planning groups would f u n c t i o n . P i s i a s presented a schematic o f how the panel s t r u c t u r e would look w i t h the proposed changes (Appendix G), n o t i n g t h a t PCOM has s t r o n g l y favored a h i e r a r c h i c a l s t r u c t u r e , w i t h the DPGs r e p o r t i n g through the thematic panels to PCOM. The thematic panels would d e f i n e s c i e n t i f i c o b j e c t i v e s , and evalu a t e p r o p s a l s which address them. The DPGs would formulate d r i l l i n g plans and r e f e r them back t o the thematic panels. P i s i a s s a i d t h a t the s h o r t - l i v e d DPGs would g i v e the program f l e x i b i l i t y i n plan n i n g . PCOM i s asking f o r EXCOM approval to continue working along these g u i d e l i n e s f o r a new planning s t r u c t u r e . PCOM members are reviewing the mandates o f the c u r r e n t thematic panels and w i l l name Chairmen o f the new and propsed panels at the August PCOM meeting. The new mandates w i l l be presented at the September EXCOM meeting. D i s c u s s i o n : J.Baker asked how the proposed s t r u c t u r e would r e f l e c t COSOD I I o b j e c t i v e s . P i s i a s pointed out t h a t the LITHP white paper covers many h i g h - p r i o r i t y COSOD I I

programs. TECP i s working on i n c o r p o r a t i n g g l o b a l s t r e s s mapping i n t o i t s recommendations, but a l l thematic panels are l o o k i n g at COSOD I I f o r long-range planning d i r e c t i o n s . P i s i a s suggested t h a t i n the t r a n s i t i o n p e r i o d , CEPAC would f u n c t i o n l i k e a d e t a i l e d planning group, w i t h some aspects o f the program, l i k e East P a c i f i c Rise d r i l l i n g , covered by s p e c i a l , even "one-shot" planning groups w i t h s p e c i f i c thematic and r e g i o n a l e x p e r t i s e . R.Moberly s a i d t h a t he and EXCOM r e p r e s e n t a t i v e , C.Helsley, had d i s c u s s e d the proposed panel changes c a r e f u l l y . His views on disbanding r e g i o n a l panels were: 1. Thematic p r i o r i t i e s (Neogene paleoceanography, r i d g e - c r e s t d r i l l i n g , e.g)

are i n w i d e l y s c a t t e r e d areas, and r e g i o n a l panels are able t o decide i f other worthwhile p r o j e c t s can be l o g i s t i c a l l y accommodated "on the way."

2. P o l i t i c a l d e c i s i o n s are i n v o l v e d i n d r i l l i n g , and r e g i o n a l panels o f " g e n e r a l i s t s " c ould b e t t e r evaluate p r o p o s a l s ; and

3. I f experiments and themes d r i v e ODP, then r e g i o n a l panels are not as u s e f u l . But i f ODP remains p r o p o s a l - d r i v e n , r e g i o n a l panels may be the best t o evaluat e them.

P i s i a s pointed out the r e g i o n a l planning f o r the Western P a c i f i c program had gone w e l l because the thematic panels had taken the l e a d t o review and i d e n t i f y the best proposals f o r the most important themes i n those areas. B.Biju-Duval s a i d t h a t ODP France agreed t h a t r e g i o n a l panels should be disbanded, but r e g i o n a l e x p e r t i s e on the d e t a i l e d planning groups i s s t i l l needed. S t e l reported s i m i l a r views from the ESF Consortium. EXCOM d i s c u s s i o n s turned to d r i l l i n g plans a f t e r CEPAC and the p o s s i b i l i t y of A t l a n t i c d r i l l i n g . P i s i a s s a i d t h a t at the next PCOM and no l a t e r than the December Annual meeting, PCOM must a l e r t the community on where the s h i p i s going so t h a t proposals can be generated. The r e p o r t from recent USSAC S o . A t l a n t i c workshop was forwarded t o the thematic panels and the JOIDES Journal i s t r y i n g to make the community aware o f long-range d r i l l i n g p l a n s . He suggested t h a t as par t of the t r a n s i t i o n a l phase t o the new panel s t r u c t u r e , a DPG f o r A t l a n t i c d r i l l i n g c o u l d be formed. A.Maxwell s a i d t h a t the PCOM had thoroughly presented the new s t r u c t u r e , and the op p o r t u n i t y should be taken to see how i t w i l l work. He recommended t h a t i f any p o l i t i c a l problems w i t h the new s t r u c t u r e e x i s t e d , PCOM should know these beforehand. D.Heinrichs suggested t h a t the j o i n t s e s s i o n should d i s c u s s broad approaches to whether p o l i t i c a l i s s u e s e x i s t , and the ODP Council could address these i s s u e s t h e i r meeting as w e l l . He s a i d t h a t mandating a second c i r c u m n a v i g a t i o n , f o r example, would be a c l e a r p o l i c y i s s u e , and i f such i s s u e s impacted s c i e n c e p l a n n i n g , PCOM should be made aware of them soon. EXCOM b r i e f l y d i s c u s s e d the balance o f i n t e r n a t i o n a l r e p r e s e n t a t i o n i n the proposed panel s t r u c t u r e . P i s i a s s a i d t h a t every e f f o r t w i l l be made t o maintain r e p r e s e n t a t i o n , adding t h a t , f o r example, the Chairman of the EPR Working Group was asked t o i n v i t e experts from the ODP member c o u n t r i e s .

D.Caldwell asked i f the long-range planning document might i d e n t i f y a s e r i e s o f DPGs t h a t might be needed t o address the p r i o r i t y o b j e c t i v e s . P i s i a s s a i d t h a t PCOM could t r y t o do t h i s , adding t h a t the number o f panels w i l l be kept at a l e v e l comparable t o t h a t i n the present p l a n n i n g s t r u c t u r e , i f p o s s i b l e . J.Briden urged t h a t the record should r e f l e c t any p o l i t i c a l f o r c e s d r i v i n g long-range p l a n n i n g .

440 NEAR-TERM PLANNING PREVIOUS AND ON-GOING REVIEWS T.Pyle (JOI, Inc) reported on several program reviews, completed and i n progress. The A d m i n i s t r a t i v e Cost Review (ACR), a r e s u l t o f the previous year's budget process, was very f a v o r a b l e t o cost vs. l e v e l o f e f f o r t provided by TAMU (see pp. 101-102 o f agenda book).

* Concern w i t h shipboard l a b s and core r e f r i g e r a t i o n . Pyle noted t h a t concerns over s h i p l a b s have p a r t i a l l y been addressed i n t h a t onboard X-ray l a b s are no longer used f o r every c r u i s e . P.Rabinowitz added t h a t the proposed Shipboard Measurements Panel would provide JOIDES advocacy f o r shipboard l a b s .

Pyle mentioned the 1988 Co-chief's review (pp.C-7 through C-11 i n the Program P l a n ) , an IHP study o f shipboard computer use, and c o n t i n u i n g e f f o r t s at c o s t i n g s t r a t e g i e s f o r ODP P u b l i c a t i o n s as other recent and c u r r e n t program reviews. RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS B. M a l f a i t reported f o r NSF on the FY89 Budget and FY 90-92 Program Plan (Appendix H). NSF requested a four - y e a r Program Plan f o r the upcoming N a t i o n a l Science Board review. In FY90, $21.5M o f program funding w i l l come from NSF and $16.5M w i l l come from the i n t e r n a t i o n a l p a r t n e r s . A 10% increase i n c o n t r i b u t i o n s from the i n t e r n a t i o n a l p a r t n e r s i s assumed t h a t year. The NSF w i l l convene an e x t e r n a l panel, composed o f n a t i o n a l and i n t e r n a t i o n a l s e n i o r s c i e n t i s t s , i n e a r l y June. They w i l l review the four - y e a r program plan and w i l l gave p r i m a r i l y a programmatic, not budgetary review. The panel recommendations, together w i t h JOIDES ad v i c e , w i l l be presented t o the Natio n a l Science Board f o r four-year ODP program approval. W i l l i a m Hay (U.Colorado) w i l l c h a i r the review panel. RESOURCE NEEDS J.Briden gave the r e p o r t o f the Budget Committee, s u b s t i t u t i n g f o r BCOM Chairman, C. H e l s l e y . Briden e x p l a i n e d t h a t BCOM looked at p o t e n t i a l budget c o n f l i c t s and h i g h l i g h t e d i s s u e s through FY92. A w r i t t e n r e p o r t from BCOM appears on pp.107-114 i n the meeting agenda book. At i t s March, 1988, meeting, BCOM de f i n e d i t s s t a r t i n g p o i n t s f o r developing budget recommendations, such as the 4% S p e c i a l Operating Expenses. The FY89 budget was increased only 1.3% from the FY88 budget, and in c r e a s e s i n the Schlumberger and SEDCO dayrates eroded the 4% A major f r u s t r a t i o n f o r BCOM was l a c k o f budget f i g u r e s from previous years at t h i s meeting. BCOM adjusted v a r i o u s TAMU budget l i n e items t o achieve the given $36M t a r g e t f o r FY89 (see Table 1 o f BCOM r e p o r t ) . Briden noted some u n c e r t a i n t y i n the TAMU d r i l l i n g o p e r a t ions f i g u r e ($1.919M). Another item a f f e c t i n g the t o t a l was the need f o r e x t r a Part A and B ODP volumes i n FY89 t o get back on p u b l i c a t i o n schedule. Briden noted BCOM's disappointment t h a t TAMU d i d not make a formal

budget p r e s e n t a t i o n at t h i s meeting. LOGO d i d provide i n f o r m a t i o n on budget l i n e items. BCOM recommended se p a r a t i n g out $190K o f r o u t i n e LOGO equipment c o s t s as s p e c i a l o p e r a t i o n s . They a l s o recommended phasing out the S t a n f o r d subcontract upon s u c c e s s f u l d e l i v e r y o f the packer. The estimated $360K l e f t u n a l l o c a t e d by BCOM was r e f e r r e d t o PCOM f o r t h e i r recommendations. A f t e r f i n a l budget c a l c u l a t i o n s , $335K was a v a i l a b l e from SOE. PCOM recommended t h a t $290K be used f o r r e n t a l o f the diamond c o r i n g system f o r Leg 124E and $45K f o r Formation Microscanner processing equipment. Briden reviewed BCOM's recommendations through FY92 (Appendix I ) . BCOM found the NSF t a r g e t f i g u r e s f o r the outyears unreasonable t o maintain a steady s t a t e program under assumed i n f l a t i o n estimates f o r those y e a r s . Briden then summarized i s s u e s f o r EXCOM c o n s i d e r a t i o n f o r the FY89 budget, i n c l u d i n g :

1) Is the 4% S p e c i a l Operating Expenses s t i l l accepted as a general p r i n c i p l e ;

2) Is e r o s i o n o f the 4% SOE i n e v i t a b l e f o r FY89; and 3) Is BCOM's d e f i n i t i o n o f the 4% f i g u r e (4% o f the standard o p e r a t i n g

expenses o f TAMU and LOGO) acceptable; and 4) Are the recommended savings and proposals f o r a l l o c a t i o n of "uncommitted

SOE" acceptable? Issues f o r FY90 and beyond f o r c o n s i d e r a t i o n by EXCOM were: the p r i o r i t y o f mai n t a i n i n g the 4% SOE i n f u t u r e budgets, i d e n t i f y i n g the kinds o f items t o i n c l u d e i n SOE, and the i m p l i c a t i o n s o f the d i f f e r e n c e i n NSF p r o j e c t i o n s ($39M f o r FY91, $40M f o r FY92) vs. those o f BCOM ($40M f o r FY91, $42M f o r FY92). BCOM has asked whether l i m i t a t i o n s t o the continued program are i n e v i t a b l e and whether in c r e a s e s i n ODP s u b s c r i p t i o n s are acceptable. NEAR-TERM SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES N . P i s i a s reviewed the FY89 s c i e n t i f i c o b j e c t i v e s planned f o r Legs 121 through 129 (see map as Appendix J ) .

The e a r t h i s d e s c r i b e d as a s e t o f nested c i r c u l a t i o n systems - the c i r c u l a t i o n between the c r u s t and mantle; the f l u i d c i r c u l a t i o n w i t h i n the c r u s t and sediment column; and the c i r c u l a t i o n o f the ocean/atmosphere system. More im p o r t a n t l y , the document p l a c e s the s c i e n t i f i c o b j e c t i v e s o f the ocean d r i l l i n g program i n t o an experimental framework which u t i l i z e s the i n t e r a c t i o n between q u a n t i t a t i v e models and the g e o l o g i c sampling completed by the d r i l l s h i p .

COSOD-I and II and the JOIDES Panels have I d e n t i f i e d a set o f m u l t i - d i s c i p l i n a r y , mu1ti-thematic s c i e n t i f i c problems which are best addressed by ocean d r i l l i n g and which provide a major improvement i n our understanding o f the e a r t h .

Implementation schedule, and budget requirements. 5. NOTE: e a r l i e s t s i g n i f i c a n t budget impact i n 1993 time frame.

Time Scale for Writing the Long Range Plan: 1 August, 1988. Thematic panels have completed drafts of "white

papers" sent to the JOIDES Office for distribution to PCOM, White papers must include a long range implementation plan with potential area^ of d r i l l i n g (global map) and beginning estimates of d r i l l i n g efforts. Technical development also need to be discussed.

14 August, 1988. PCOM meets in England for summer meeting. Discusses contents of white paper and thematic panels implementation plans. PCOM formulates issues to be further discussed by thematic panels. Also, begin implementation of new panel structure.

F a l l , 1988. Thematic Panels meet and refine white papers and implementation plans. I n i t i a l cost estimates for d r i l l i n g and other technologies should be obtained from TAMU, LDGO and other-sources.

1 November 1988. F i r s t draft of Long Range Plan i s generated to be distributed to PCOM. This draft w i l l contain PCOM's integration of thematic panels implementation plan into a "coherent" planning strategy.

25 November 1988. PCOM meets for annual meeting and discusses draft Long Range Plan. Prepares f i n a l set of issues to be sent to thematic panels to be discussed in their winter meeting.

Winter, 1989. Thematic Panels meet for f i n a l discussion of LRP.

1 A p r i l 1989. Final Draft prepared.

A p r i l 1989. PCOM examines f i n a l draft. May 1989. Final Draft presented to EXCOM and ODP Council

ODP FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

1. ODP needs a program for involvement of scientists from developing countries to address the growing disparity i n earth science capabilities. 2. We have 24 applications already from developing-country scientists who wish to participate in the program, but these have been random sxibmissions. 3. The Subconimittee proposes that each partner country try to identify additional potential participants in a fellowship program for scientists from developing countries — these applications to be collected by JOI to be added to the existing applicant pool. 4. PCOM selects from this group of applicants a short l i s t of 4 or 5 qualified scientists. This w i l l be reduced to two by matching of interests and available laboratory space, etc. One fellowship could be in the U.S., one non-U.S. Support would be provided at a total level of $50K from the FY '89 JOI budget. A larger number of fellowships could be supported i f partners wish to provide support from appropriate national programs. 5. Participation can be through joining shipboard s c i e n t i f i c party, working in an ODP laboratory, or on a site survey/ or some combination thereof. The fellowship should last about nine months, inclusive of shipboard participation. 6. At the same time, JOI w i l l undertake a survey of existing support by ODP partners for scientists from developing countries. 7. JOI w i l l also prepare a low-cost brochure describing the fellowship program and i t s objectives. This could be used in s o l i c i t i n g funds from other sources. 8. This i s to be an on-going program, which could be expanded i f additional funding becomes available.
