An Introduction to Scientific Ocean Drilling
UK-IODP workshop 2022
How Does Scientific Ocean Drilling Work
and What is it good for?
2nd - 3rd November 2022
National Oceanography Centre, Southampton & Online
Deadline for registration: 20th October 2022
Scientific Ocean Drilling addresses fundamental questions about Earth’s climate, deep life, geodynamics and geohazards. A UK-IODP workshop will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of November 2022, to introduce participants to Scientific Ocean Drilling, how it works and how it can benefit their research. The workshop will include presentations from experienced scientists and experts from IODP and ECORD, as well as practical activities.
We encourage participation from all scientists based at UK research institutes who would like to learn about how their research could benefit from subseafloor sampling, including (but not limited to) PhD students and early career researchers in the fields of geology and microbiology. A limited number of bursaries are available from UK-IODP to cover the cost of travel and accommodation for students. If you wish to apply for a bursary, please complete the relevant section of the workshop registration form.
NERC and UK-IODP take equality, diversity and inclusion very seriously. We know that the quality of research and innovation improves the more we bring together people from different backgrounds. We encourage people from all backgrounds, beliefs and experiences to attend this workshop. Registration for this event is free. Registration closes on 20th October 2022 at 23:30 BST.
Further information about the programme will be circulated in September. To make sure you don’t miss out on future announcements please sign up to the UK-IODP mailing list using the button at the bottom of this page.
