JOIDES Resolution (Joint Oceanographic Institutions Deep Earth Sampler) is a scientific drilling ship once used by the Ocean Drilling Program, then by its successor, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. It is the successor of the Glomar Challenger.
The ship was launched as Sedco/BP 471, an oil exploration vessel. It was later converted for scientific use and began working for the ODP in January 1985.
