Abstract

The Joint European Ocean Drilling Initiative (JEODI) was established in 2002 as a two year EU funded project to bring a distinctive European component to the new era of scientific ocean drilling. This Thematic Network brought together all the major European member states involved in scientific ocean drilling and JEODI has emphasized as one of the target areas: Arctic Science, with drilling of the almost unexplored Arctic Ocean.

The JEODI Workshop “Preparing for Scientific Ocean Drilling in the Arctic: The Site Survey Challenge” was held in Copenhagen, January 13-14, 2003, in order to discuss scientific drilling in the Arctic Ocean. The workshop was organised by Naja Mikkelsen, Yngve Kristoffersen, Jan Backman, Wilfried Jokat and Jørn Thiede and it brought together 50 Arctic scientists (Europe and Russia 39, US and Canada 11), managers, operators and specialists. The focus of the workshop was on the site survey challenge in the ice-covered waters of the Arctic Ocean. Acquisition of adequate marine geophysical site survey data is a necessary pre-requisite for planning and safely drilling and coring the Arctic’s sediments and bedrock. The workshop was sponsored by the Joint European Ocean Drilling Initiative (JEODI under the EU 5th Framework Programme and by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. The printing of the workshop report was sponsored by JEODI and by the Nansen Arctic Drilling Programme
(NAD).
