The Consortium for Ocean Leadership is currently accepting workshop proposals submitted to the U.S. Science Support Program (USSSP) associated with the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP).  Proposed workshops should promote the development of new ideas to study the Earth’s processes and history via scientific ocean drilling.  The primary goal of the workshop program is to identify promising new scientific objectives and research opportunities.  USSSP seeks to expand its long-standing sponsorship of workshops in ocean sciences, marine geology and geophysics, and paleoclimatology to related disciplines by encouraging broad-based scientific community involvement. Co-sponsorship of workshops by related programs and the active participation of graduate students are strongly encouraged. Submission deadline is April 1, 2008. More Information

Heading to the GSA Annual Meeting in Houston?   Want to know more about scientific ocean drilling (IODP) and how you can use it with your undergrad and high school students?   Then join us forField Trip 413, Hands On at IODP's Gulf Coast Repository -- Authentic Scientific Ocean Drilling Samples and Data for Earth Systems Science Inquiry  

Date:  Sat., 4 Oct.

Cosponsored by: Deep Earth Academy; Consortium for Ocean Leadership; Integrated Ocean Drilling Program; National Science Foundation.

Leaders:  Leslie Peart, Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Washington, D.C., +1-202-787.1603; Kristen St. John, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va.; Debbie Thomas, Texas A&M University, College Station, Tex.; John Firth, Texas A&M University, College Station, Tex.

Price: US$25 (B, L, D, R).

Description:  Participants will be transported from Houston to the Gulf Coast Repository (GCR) at Texas A&M University in College Station, a distance of 90 miles, for a full day of hands-on open and guided inquiry with cores and data highlighting major results from the scientific ocean drilling programs (DSDP, ODP, and IODP). The proximity of the GCR, coupled with the depth and breadth of the collection, offers an unprecedented opportunity for meeting attendees to study and sample a variety of ocean cores during the conference and to field-test lab and classroom activities designed specifically for undergraduate and upper-level secondary students. New paleoclimate and ocean crust resources will be introduced--this field trip is suitable for past IODP and School of Rock participants. Meals and materials will be provided.
