Thousands of little pictures in the mosaic image of the JOIDES Resolution show some of the thousands of people that have worked, lived, and researched on this scientific drilling vessel. These people represent the literally hundreds of career possibilities in the scientific ocean drilling field.

We've written profiles that highlight some of the diverse careers available in our program. We invite you to search for the career profiles hidden in the mosaic, explore the diverse backgrounds of these people, and consider what careers you might be interested in.

About the JOIDES Resolution Photo Mosaic: This image is a composite of over 6500 images combining to form the JOIDES Resolution, the United States riserless scientific drilling vessel. Each individual image comes from one of the over 200 scientific drilling expeditions that have occurred in the 39 year history of the scientific drilling programs (including the Deep Sea Drilling Project, Ocean Drilling Program, and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program).

This interactive is optimized for viewing at a 1024x768 screen resolution.
