Science Planning Committee (SPC) Report to USAC February 2010

Role of Science Planning Committee Chartered by the Science Advisory Structure Executive Committee (SASEC) as primary SAS committee for planning the IODP scientific drilling expedition schedule SASEC retains really long-term planning outlook SPC focuses on annual process for review and ranking mature IODP proposals forwarded by SSEP, approximately one year in advance of preparation of IODP Annual Program Plans SPC also recommends annual engineering plan in support of science plan, after advice from EDP All other SAS panels report through SPC, so SPC also synthesizes SAS advice for SASEC + IODP-MI

2 1.SPC Meeting August 25-27, Kiel, Germany* 3. Alternative approach to proposal discussion* SPC Activities since July USAC

3 1. SPC Meeting, Kiel SPC Motion : Two options were discussed for prioritizing the Superfast Spreading Crust (Proposal 552- Full5) + Costa Rica Seismogenesis Project (CRISP) Phase A (Proposal 537A-Full5) slot in the FY2011 JOIDES Resolution schedule. SPC prefers… Superfast and CRISP A are both objectives. If conditions at Superfast warrant, a decision tree will decide whether an increased proportion of time would be spent at Superfast, or a decreased proportion of time. Drilling plan for two expeditions under review at OTF

4 1. SPC Meeting, Kiel SPC Consensus : The SPC will consider evaluating, on a case by case basis, possibilities for combining expedition objectives and/or staffing and crew, and/or for implementing flexibility in the length of expeditions. To aid in future scheduling considerations, the SPC asks IODP-MI to contact proponents of proposals currently residing at SPC and at OTF (but not scheduled) to prioritize their scientific objectives in light of potentially reduced implementation and operational times. Done, with proponents of proposals being forwarded to SPC for March meeting

5 3. Alternative Approaches to Proposal Discussion 1.Current format of proposal review and discussions: a.Can overlap too much with thorough SSEP discussions of science b.Disconnects somewhat current proposals from those at OTF c.Limits opportunities to discuss proposals in a global perspective Streamline science discussion process by providing template for presentations; normal watchdogs Add presentation and discussion section of all OTF and SPC proposals by Theme, and by Regions

6 4. SPC Business March Discuss and rank proposals advancing from SSEP; consider for forwarding to OTF 2.Discuss status of proposals at OTF 3.Discuss approach to June 2010 guidance for generalized operations plan for remaining years of IODP program
