Proposal and Funding

​​​​​

ICDP - the full ADD-ON proposal was submitted for review to ICDP in mid-January 2025. The project has provisionally been approved pending ICDP receiving an addendum, proving the existence of recoverable, dateable tephra near the drilling site within before December 2025. The approved funding is 1986917 US$, which is secured for a period of up to three years and will be available once the required criteria are met and appropriate co-funding is secured.

​

The ADD-ON workshop in August 2023 was primarily funded by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP).
