The JOIDES Basin, also known as the JOIDES Resolution, is not a geographical basin but rather the name of a scientific ocean drilling vessel used for deep-sea drilling and research. JOIDES stands for the "Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling." This vessel has been instrumental in the Ocean Drilling Program and, later, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), which aim to explore the Earth's history, climate, and geological processes through core sampling of the ocean floor.
