SW: →Ocean Drilling Program, and funding cut: fixed wording (Carter said it ended, wasn't cut)
Carter is a geologist who writes in the field of geology.<ref>http://members.iinet.net.au/~glrmc/new_page_4.htm research papers </ref>.
===Ocean Drilling Program, and funding cutcessation===
Some of Carter's work has involved what is known as "paleoclimatic research," including participation in the [[Ocean Drilling Program]] Leg 181 try to create a benchmark of the 4 million year-long, mid-latitude climate record.<ref>http://members.iinet.net.au/~glrmc/Carter&Gammon-Science-04.pdf</ref>.
Funding for this program was reportedly cut "came to its planned and natural end"<ref>Email from Bob Carter to ahaynes, 2011-10-16</ref> around 2002, and "It is from about that time...that many [Australian journalists] began to receive helpful items from Carter, clearly meant for publication, most knocking the orthodoxy, the bleak line on global warming."<ref>{{cite web

Australia then withdrew from the project and Bob’s involvement went on hold. There were two consequences: the first, apparently, was that Carter now had time on his hands; the second, I inferred, was that he was not at all pleased with whichever authorities had cut off the funds.

In 2005, Carter was appointed by the Australian Minister for Environment, [[Ian Campbell]], as a judge for the [[Australian Government Peter Hunt Eureka Prize for Environmental Journalism]].<ref>http://www.smh.com.au/news/Opinion/Greenery-is-shrouding-debate/2005/03/18/1111086009302.html</ref> ''The reasoning behind this appointment is unclear.''
