LacCore/CSDCO email: Abundant training opportunities and input to CORES Study
Abundant training opportunities
LacCore: National Lacustrine Core Facility and the Continental Scientific Drilling Coordination Office (CSDCO) are offering several upcoming training opportunities.
NEW Short Courses
CSDCO/LacCore now offers FREE training courses in coring, core description and processing, core software, and more! Short courses are open to all! Registration is open for courses in February, March, and April.
Learn more about short courses.
Drilling and Coring Summer Institute
This institute is a comprehensive 10-day course for graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers. The application deadline is March 8.
Learn more about the summer institute.
Visiting Grad Student Program
Travel grants are provided for graduate students to bring their cores to the CSDCO/LacCore facilities. The application deadline is March 29.
Learn more about the visiting grad student program.
Input needed on CORES study
We’d also like to remind our community to provide input to the CORES study. Please see the request below from Dennis Kent, Rutgers:
The National Academies is conducting a study on Catalyzing Opportunities for Research in the Earth Sciences (CORES) for the Division of Earth Sciences at the National Science Foundation and wants to hear from you!
The purpose of the CORES study is to:
identify a concise set of high-priority scientific questions for the next decade,
assess infrastructure needed to address these questions, and
determine opportunities for greater collaboration with other NSF divisions and directorates, federal agencies, and domestic and international partners.
The CORES committee strongly feels that this study must be informed by vigorous community input from across the entire spectrum of Earth sciences. One of the ways we are soliciting input is through a questionnaire assessing your ideas about upcoming research priorities. Visit the questionnaire website.
The CORES website provides more detailed information on the study charge, as well as a complete list of committee members.
Please contribute your comments regarding the top Earth science priorities for the next decade.
Thank you!

ICDP Training Course on Downhole Measurements
The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, ICDP, kindly invites scientists from upcoming scientific drilling projects to apply for the
ICDP Training Course on Downhole Measurements
to be held June 24-28, 2019 in Kuopio/Outokumpu, Finland. This training course will encompass the different technical and scientific aspects of downhole measurements and their analysis in scientific drilling, including borehole logging under various conditions and scientific demands, seismic borehole measurements, downhole hydraulic tests, fluid logging & sampling, and fibre optical methods. The training course is recommended for graduate students, PhD students, Early-Careers and Senior Scientists involved in running or upcoming scientific drilling projects.
Deadline for application is February 15, 2019. Decisions will be communicated by end of February. 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 including those for travelling, 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 sent your application documents as single PDF file to outreach@gfz-potsdam.de. File size should not exceed 10 Megabytes.
More information on ICDP training measures can be found at www.icdp-online.org.

ANZIC Ocean Planet Workshop – EOI portal is open
Invitation to Geoscience and BioGeoscience communities to be a part of the next IODP Decadal Science plan via the ANZIC Ocean Planet workshop here in Canberra in April 14-16th 2019.
The EOI portal has now opened (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/expression-of-interest-to-join-the-anzic-ocean-planet-workshop-registration-53215012535 ). The registration site captures both those that are interested and able to attend and those that can not attend but would like to still submit a white paper suggestion to the process of determining ANZICs input to the process.
The workshop is open to ALL Australian and New Zealand researchers/ government agencies/related industry/ policy groups interested in the future of IODP’s scientific direction. We particularly encourage ECR and Mid-career researchers/staff to participate and there is a day set aside for them to provide their views. We aim to have ~150 participants and will close the invitation portal to White paper only submissions if 200 EOIs to attend is reached.
The ANZIC Office and Science Committee are excited about this major event and we hope you will ensure that your institution is well represented.
EGU 2019 session on IODP
EGU 2019 will be held in Vienna, Austria, in the 2nd week of April 2019. IODP and ICDP always have a presence at this meeting, and this year there is a dedicated IODP session. If you’re doing research that’s relevant and thinking of attending EGU perhaps you want to submit an abstract to it by the deadline of 10 Jan 2019?
