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
