Latest ANZIC Bulletin and last call for applications for Exp 377
Dear colleagues
Here is the link to the latest version of the ANZIC Bulletin with some emphasis on the the Australasian Workshop (nice article written by Catherine), which was a huge success. The organisers of the workshop, before and during it, were towers of strength. I expect the results to be more expeditions in our region in the years to come.
There is also a final call (deadline Monday 3rd July) for applicants for the hugely exciting Expedition 377 (Arctic Ocean Paleoceanography) . Do apply, or encourage others to apply. This expedition will drill Cenozoic sequences in the ocean that record spectacular changes in climate and the marine-non marine state, which were partly demonstrated by IODP Expedition 302, drilled in 2004 when sea ice cover was far greater. This is the chance of a lifetime to join a great historic expedition, and one would expect our Antarctic community to be very excited by it. The drilling will be in mid-2018, and the larger description and sampling science party in early 2019 in Bremen.

Apply for the ICDP Training Course on Continental Scientific Drilling Nov 2017
This message is forwarded from Thomas Wiersburg at GFZ Potsdam (ICDP).
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, ICDP invites scientists from upcoming scientific drilling projects to apply for the
ICDP Training Course on Continental Scientific Drilling
to be held from November 5-10, 2017 either at Caernarfon (UK) nearby the ICDP-sponsored JET drilling project or at the Geocenter KTB in Windischeschenbach (Germany). This training course will touch upon all relevant aspects of continental scientific drilling, including project planning and management, pre-site surveys, drilling engineering, sample handling and storage, on-site studies, downhole logging, data management, and post-drilling measures. The training course is recommended for PhD students, post-docs and scientists involved in scientific drilling.
Deadline for application is August 18, 2017. Decisions will be communicated by end of August. Preference will be given to applicants involved in ICDP drilling projects, applicants from ICDP member countries, developing countries, and those from countries considering ICDP membership. For the successful candidates, expenses for travel, visa, meals and accommodation will be covered by ICDP. Applications should include a letter of interest, CV, and at least two letters of support.
Please send your application to icdp-outreach@gfz-potsdam.de
More information on ICDP training measures can be found at www.icdp-online.org/support/training/annual-training-course/
Please forward this message to potentially interested candidates.
Kind regards,
Thomas Wiersberg
