LATE CALL -IODP Expedition 385 – biostratigrapher
The Co-Chief Scientists and Expedition Project Manager/Staff Scientist are offering a special call to ANZIC researchers with expertise in diatom or nannofossil biostratigraphy.
Expedition 385 will be at sea for two months between September and November 2019.
The team will core and log a series of sites in the Guaymas Basin to investigate the relationship of tectonics, magmatism, sedimentation, carbon cycling, and microbial activity.
The primary objectives are to:
(1) explore the physical and chemical gradients along active and extinct fluid pathways associated with sill emplacement;
(2) investigate subsurface microbial communities that are sustained by alteration products, in order to determine how efficiently they capture carbon-bearing alteration products; and
(3) advance our understanding of the conditions that limit life in the deep biosphere.
Applications from the ANZIC community must be forwarded to Leanne Armand (Anzic.programscientist@anu.edu.au) and ANZIC Science Committee Chair, Mike Coffin (mike.coffin@utas.edu.au) using the Application to sail submission form located at: https://iodp.org.au/for-scientists/application-to-sail/
Due Date for Special Call: 28th August 2018.
