9 - 11 October, 2012 | Southwest Pacific Ocean IODP Workshop | Sydney, Australia Rationale - The rationale of this workshop is to address global geoscience problems in the Southwest Pacific
Ocean, by building on existing and new geophysical and geological information including earlier
scientific drilling, to come up with coherent and well-integrated IODP proposals. This means a
continuation of geophysical, geological, geochemical/petrological, paleoclimate, paleoceanographic,
biostratigraphic, and geohazard studies (earthquakes, tsunamis, slumps), with more coordination of
upcoming and proposed regional research cruises. It also means planning for extremophile
microbiological studies in the sediment column and in oceanic crust as components of geoscience
expeditions or as stand-alone expeditions. Themes -
The proposed themes are largely those in the new IODP Science Plan for 2012-20123: 4) Earth in Motion: processes and hazards on human time scales
This tectonically active region has its share of earthquakes, tsunamis and submarine slides that have
impacted on populations and will continue to do so. Targeted scientific drilling will help address
some of these hazards. Sub-committee co-chairs Laura Wallace (UTIG, USA) and Jim Mori (Japan). Please register interest with iodp.administrator@anu.edu.au The primary contact person is: Email: Neville.Exon@anu.edu.au copy to iodp.administrator@anu.edu.au |
ICDP Workshop Oman Drilling Project | 13 - 17 September 2012 | IBM Dolce Center in Palisades, New York | First circular Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce that an ICDP-sponsored workshop on scientific drilling in the Samail ophiolite, in the Sultanate of Oman, will be held at the IBM Dolce Center in Palisades, New York, starting on the evening of Thursday, September 13, and ending on the morning of Monday, September 17. Diamond drilling and coring, plus downhole logging and experiments, will be planned to address scientific objectives related to (from low temperature to high temperature)
For more information the workshop proposal and the report from the 2011 Mineral Carbonation Workshop in Oman are both available at http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/gpg/projects/icdp-workshop-oman-drilling-project The workshop proposal outlined a preliminary plan for two phases of drilling, with approximately four holes in a first phase, and - contingent on successful completion of phase one - approximately ten more holes in a second phase. The preliminary plan involved the use of wireline diamond drilling equipment and personnel currently active in mineral exploration in Oman, with relatively low costs and with depth per hole limited to about 600 meters. Very preliminary drill sites were chosen in the southern ophiolite massifs, thought by many workers to have a simpler history and structure compared to the northern massifs. ALL of these topics will be open for discussion by participants, and could be significantly revised as an outcome of the workshop. The workshop will be limited to 60 participants. If you are interested in attending, please complete the application form at http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/gpg/projects/icdp-workshop-oman-drilling-project Applications will be reviewed and participants chosen beginning in late April and continuing until the venue is full. Email announcements with more details will follow, and conference information will be posted at the website above. A steering committee consisting of Ali Al Rajhi (OM), Margot Godard (FR), Benoit Ildefonse (FR), Jürgen Koepke (GE), Chris MacLeod (UK), Craig Manning (US), Katsu Michibayashi (JP), Sobhi Nasir (OM), Everett Shock (US), Eiichi Takazawa (JP) and Damon Teagle (UK) will help in selecting participants and choosing keynote speakers. This workshop is sponsored and funded in part by the International Continental Drilling Program (ICDP). Support from ICDP will be used to reduce the meeting cost for everyone, to ensure broad international representation, and to enable early career scientists to participate. We are arranging relatively low cost, group transportation from New York airports to the Conference Center. We do not yet know how much financial support we will be able to offer. There are some indications from both European and US agencies that support may be limited. We hope that as many participants as possible will provide their own funds for travel and conference fees, and will support attendance by younger colleagues. Workshop costs (meeting facilities and three meals a day, Friday through Sunday) will be about $200 per person. Lodging at the Conference Center is recommended, and is available for $129 per person per night (single rooms only). A limited amount of less expensive lodging is available in the area, but reservations and transportation arrangements for off-site lodging will be the responsibility of individual participants. Please direct questions to Karen Benedetto <karenb@ldeo.columbia.edu>. We hope to see you there. Best wishes, Peter Kelemen ********** office (not recommended): 845 365 8728

Advances in development of lake chronologies Conveners: Charlotte Bryant (NERC Radiocarbon Facility, SUERC, UK) and Darren Mark (NERC Argon Isotope Facility, SUERC, UK) Chronologies are fundamental to interpreting the timing and rates of past environmental changes. Ongoing developments in analytical techniques and modelling of data have improved the accuracy and precision of chronologies and widened the range of lake derived materials which can be used for dating or comparison to other palaeoenvironmental records. These include: improvements in analytical equipment and methodologies for 14C, Ar/Ar, 32Si, 210Pb, U-series, OSL and ephrochronology dating techniques; Bayesian modelling techniques for14C data and continuing efforts to improve 14C calibration using terrestrial based records. Despite these improvements, there are still challenges to obtaining reliable chronologies and future directions in developments of interest to the palaeolimnological community will be driven by future research priorities which will determine sampling areas and availability of material types.
