UK IODP

Ocean Drilling Review - Call for Evidence

Deadline for submission of evidence: 10 August 2010

Guidance for response to Call for Evidence

The published Call for Evidence consists of a questionnaire which can be completed in whole or in part. Links to the targeted questionnaire for different parts of the community are below. Please complete the relevant questionnaire as a Word document and return to iodp@nerc.ac.uk.

UKIOP community questionnaire (52KB)

Wider academic community questionnaire (52KB)

User community questionnaire (43KB)

There will also be more detailed targeted questionnaires sent out to key people from whom the Review Panel would like an input. If you wish to contribute to this element of the review, please contact NERC.

All evidence will be treated in confidence by NERC and only passed on to members of the Review Panel. It is also possible to submit evidence anonymously, with the aim to capture the full spectrum of opinions from the community. The UKIODP Science Advisory Panel have been actively involved in helping frame the questions and the structure of the call for evidence, with final approval prior to publication from the UKIODP Programme Executive Board.
