Reminder – analytical funding deadline June 1 5pm
ANZIC funding for analytical work on IODP legacy material
The International Ocean Discovery Program, in its various iterations, has collected core material from all over the globe, since 1969. ANZIC encourages our research community to take advantage of this exceptional resource by conducting short research projects in support of existing research or scope out a new line of enquiry.
Funding is available to researchers working in ANZIC’s Australian member institutions. Awards of up to AU $10,000 and AU$20,000 are available. Funding is awarded for analytical work on IODP Legacy material, leading to publication.
Please read full details of this opportunity at the link below.
Applications by individuals or teams expected by Friday, June 1st (5pm), sent to Program Scientist, Leanne Armand (anzic.programscientist@anu.edu.au) and Science Committee Chair, Rob McKay (robert.mckay@vuw.ac.nz).

NSF GeoPRISMS Program Solicitation
From the GeoPRISMS Office:
NSF has just released the new GeoPRISMS solicitation:
https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18559/nsf18559.htm
Full Proposal Target Date: August 13, 2018
Important revisions this year include:
– Large field projects that involve ship time, significant resources, or where the fieldwork is a significant fraction of the budget (>15%) are no longer accepted to the program;
– In order to encourage synthesis and integration of multidisciplinary datasets and models, we will welcome conference proposals throughout the year, separately from the full proposal Target Date;
– Postdoctoral proposals now only require two letters of reference
– Postdoctoral Fellows are now called Postdoctoral Scholars
Questions should be directed to PO Jennifer Wade: jwade@nsf.gov; (703) 292-4739 or Maurice Tivey: mtivey@nsf.gov; (703) 292-7710
[GeoPRISMS] Student survey for U.S. crustal-scale marine seismic imaging capabilities
Dear Peers and Colleagues,
