This workshop will explore the interface of Indigenous and Western sciences and interests in scientific drilling (e.g., coring lakes, coastal areas, landslides, bedrock or offshore environments). Māori science students and mentors joined First Nations People from Australia, North and South America onboard the international research vessel JOIDES Resolution in 2024. In co-creation by the shipboard participants, this workshop aims to start conversation and create space for indigenous-led interests, while growing an indigenous trans-Tasman (trans-Pacific) community (including Pasifika) in scientific drilling. Following the Kaupapa onboard, we will focus on fostering knowledge and understanding among our community, for cross-cultural learning and collaboration in scientific exploration. We welcome both indigenous scientists and individuals interested/operating in spaces involving indigenous peoples and earth sciences.
