June 17, 2018: Deadline to apply for Workshop: Scientific Exploration of the Arctic and North Pacific ()
Dear Colleagues,
The deadline to apply for this ocean drilling workshop is 4 days away:
Scientific Exploration of the Arctic and North Pacific (SEA-NorP)
September 25-27, 2018; Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood, Oregon, USA
http://usoceandiscovery.org/workshop-sea-norp/
At the workshop, we will develop proposals for scientific ocean drilling in the Northern Pacific, Bering Sea and Western Arctic Ocean region, including GeoPRISMS primary site, the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The drilling platform, JOIDES Resolution, is scheduled to operate in the Pacific in 2023. To ensure that the ship is used to best advantage, now is the time to develop proposals that could be linked through regional drilling strategies.
Our goal is to initiate multiple proposals around GeoPRISMS-related themes such as geohazards and volatile cycling, as well as other themes including ocean gateways, ice histories at transition zones, biosphere and climate.
The workshop is open to U.S. and international participants. The deadline to apply is June 17, 2018. Travel grants are available thanks to funding from USSSP-IODP, the National Science Foundation and ECORD. Graduate students, early career scientists and those new to IODP are encouraged to apply.
Draft agenda attached. For more information and to apply, visit the workshop website: http://usoceandiscovery.org/workshop-sea-norp/
Thank you,
Workshop Conveners: Lindsay Worthington (UNM), Bernard Coakley (UAF), Matthias Forwick (UiT – Tromsø), Juliane Mueller (Alfred Wegener Institute), Summer Praetorius (USGS), and Kristen St. John (JMU)
Workshop Science Committee: Jessica Larsen (UAF), Alan Mix (Oregon State), Terry Plank (LDEO), Donna Shillington (LDEO), Harold Tobin (Wisconsin)

Provide information on outcomes of past IODP work?
Hi everyone
I’ve just received an email from Stuart Henrys that indicates that there is a chance that MBIE will support long term membership fees for IODP and ICDP under the Infrastructure Component of the SSIF.
However, we have to make a good case to MBIE that these memberships are beneficial to us. We can best do that by demonstrating results/benefits/impacts of past consortia-associated research.
To help build this case, can you please take a few minutes to add information about this in the format of the attached document (which is based on Hikurangi)? In particular:
list complementary funded science proposals and funded voyages.
Student information .. year(s) institution, degree, worked on material from which IODP leg, etc
Post Doc information
Many many thanks
Virginia
