Arctic Ocean Workshop Application Period Open

The Arctic Ocean is crucial for understanding global ocean circulation processes and Mesozoic tectonics. The unexpected results derived from cores collected during the IODP’s Expedition 302 have exposed the ancient Arctic Ocean, providing the basis for further studies by framing new questions and by highlighting how little is known. This workshop will bring together an international group of scientists to plan future scientific ocean drilling expeditions to the Arctic Ocean.  All interested scientists, researchers, and students are encouraged to apply.
