Challenges and Opportunities in Academic Marine Seismology
Filed under: Discovery,Events,News & Resources,Workshops
R/V Marcus G. Langseth
Co-conveners: W. Steven Holbrook & Graham Kent
March 22-24, 2010
Incline Village, NV
We are entering a time of unprecedented opportunity for marine seismology, as the R/V Langseth completes its second year of successful operations. The capabilities of the Langseth facility will enable key scientific advances. However, along with these new opportunities come new challenges, including the high cost of 3D seismic acquisition, the difficulty of forecasting areas of operation, and ensuring broad community access to the data produced by the facility. We will convene a workshop to discuss the future of academic marine 3D and 2D seismology, with a focus on:
- Defining science goals that require a healthy marine seismic facility over the next decade.
- Improving the process of soliciting, evaluating, funding, and scheduling seismic cruises.
- Broadening access to Langseth products for scientists and educators.
