Abstract

Mission-Specific Platforms (MSPs) have been important members of the scientific ocean drilling family for two decades, operating alongside their impressive siblings JOIDES Resolution and D/V Chikyu. Over this time, 10 MSP expeditions were implemented in 7 different oceans and seas. These MSPs capitalised on alternative platforms and methods, and enabled the scientific community to access new geographical areas and new geological targets that could not be drilled by the JOIDES Resolution or Chikyu. Offshore heave-compensated wireline coring, onshore-mining-style wireline coring, remote seafloor drilling and giant piston coring have all featured on MSP expeditions. Equally diverse were the environments in which these technologies were deployed, from the ice-covered Arctic Ocean to the tropical seas of the Great Barrier Reef, and from the shallow waters of the Yucatan shelf to the ultra-deep hadal depths of the Japan Trench. In this paper we reflect on the diverse technologies of MSPs, how they increased scientific ocean drilling capability in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (2003−2013) and International Ocean Discovery Program (2013–2024), and the scientific achievements that they enabled.

二十年的 MSP：技术与视角

二十年来，特定任务平台（MSPs）一直是科学海洋钻探大家庭的重要成员，与令人印象深刻的同胞兄弟 "JOIDES Resolution "号和 "D/V Chikyu "号一起工作。在此期间，共在 7 个不同的大洋和海域进行了 10 次任务平台考察。这些多式联运项目利用了替代平台和方法，使科学界能够进入新的地理区域和新的地质目标，而这些是 JOIDES Resolution 或 Chikyu 无法钻探的。近海波浪补偿钢丝绳岩芯钻探、陆上采矿式钢丝绳岩芯钻探、遥控海底钻探和巨型活塞岩芯钻探都是海洋科学计划探险的特色。部署这些技术的环境同样多种多样，从冰雪覆盖的北冰洋到大堡礁的热带海洋，从尤卡坦大陆架的浅海到日本海沟的超深海底。在本文中，我们回顾了多用途平台的各种技术，它们如何在综合大洋钻探计划（2003-2013 年）和国际大洋发现计划（2013-2024 年）中提高了大洋钻探的科学能力，以及它们促成的科学成就。

期刊介绍： Marine Geology is the premier international journal on marine geological processes in the broadest sense. We seek papers that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary and synthetic that will be lasting contributions to the field. Although most papers are based on regional studies, they must demonstrate new findings of international significance. We accept papers on subjects as diverse as seafloor hydrothermal systems, beach dynamics, early diagenesis, microbiological studies in sediments, palaeoclimate studies and geophysical studies of the seabed. We encourage papers that address emerging new fields, for example the influence of anthropogenic processes on coastal/marine geology and coastal/marine geoarchaeology. We insist that the papers are concerned with the marine realm and that they deal with geology: with rocks, sediments, and physical and chemical processes affecting them. Papers should address scientific hypotheses: highly descriptive data compilations or papers that deal only with marine management and risk assessment should be submitted to other journals. Papers on laboratory or modelling studies must demonstrate direct relevance to marine processes or deposits. The primary criteria for acceptance of papers is that the science is of high quality, novel, significant, and of broad international interest.
