Charting the Future Course of Scientific Ocean Drilling - 01.12.2009

Do you want to influence the research priorities of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)? Have you used IODP, Ocean Drilling Program, or Deep Sea Drilling Program data or samples in your research? Does your science benefit from data collected through scientific ocean drilling?

Planning is underway for the next phase of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and your input is needed for its success. If you are a U.S. scientist interested in the future of IODP, we invite you to participate in the online workshop Charting the Future Course of Scientific Ocean Drilling (CHART). CHART is an important opportunity for the U.S. community to organize its science priorities and goals. The resulting white paper will be a key part of the IODP renewal process and will foster planning at the international INVEST Workshop. Your input and support will help ensure that we retain access to ocean drilling technology for producing transformative, world-class science.

Mark your calendar for this key meeting and plan to participate starting February 2, 2009. Registration is free and open to all U.S. scientists.
