The CCOD has the following objectives:

  • Advocate and encourage Canadian participation in IODP and ECORD
  • Develop proposals and applications for IODP funding
  • Help the community to develop proposals and applications for IODP expeditions
  • Represent the Canadian community on IODP and ECORD committees and panels

The CCOD directly supports the operational costs associated with IODP participation and planning for long-term, stable funding for Canadian IODP membership through an annual membership fee.  Membership in the CCOD is open to all persons from Canadian universities, government agencies and industry groups with a commitment to Canada’s participation in the IODP.
