Title:
Deep Sea Drilling Project/Ocean Drilling Program (DSDP/ODP) (Geophysics and Oceanography): Oral history interviews, 1992-1994.
Research is conducted in a series of "legs," the ship's track along a selected path. The AIP Study focused on the origins of DSDP; Leg 85, which was a classic stratigraphic-palaeoceanographic program; and Leg 133, which explored Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Interviews were conducted with members of the project's collaboration using a structured question set covering all stages of in the collaborative research process: the formation of the collaboration and its personnel; the organizational structure; the formation of the experiment teams; the drafting of the proposal; funding for U.S groups by the National Science Foundation or other U.S. funding agencies; use of subcontractors; development of software for data collection and analysis; the collaboration's decision-making style; role of the Principal Investigators, science management offices, consortia headquarters, advisory groups, and graduates students; impact of internationalism; patterns of communications; records creation, use, distribution, and retention; also, comments on the interviewee's home institution and trends in graduate education in geophysics and oceanography. Interviews (listed by institutional member of the collaboration and by name of individual) on the origins of DSDP were conducted with: Dartmouth College: Charles Drake; Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory: Marcus Langseth; National Science Foundation: William Benson; Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Willaim Nierenberg; Cambridge University: Tjeerd van Andel; University of Texas at Austin: Arthur Maxwell; University of Southern California: Robert Douglas. Interviews on Leg 133 were conducted with: Australian National University: Frank Peerdeman; Bureau of Mineral Resources, Australia: Peter Davies, Christopher Pigram, Philip Symonds; Geological Institute, ETH-Center, Zurich: Judith McKenzie; Ocean Drilling Program, Texas A and M Research Foundation: Amanda Palmer-Julson, Eugene Pollard; Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami: Peter Swart; University of Edinburgh: Dick Kroon. Interviews on Leg 85 were conducted with: University of New Brunswick: Larry Mayer; U. S. Geological Survey: John Barron.
