UK IODP
UK IODP Symposium
The UK IODP Conference will be held at the Royal Society, London on 18-19 May 2009.
This event is aimed at the UK IODP science community and is an opportunity to highlight important scientific achievements from the current IODP phase, and to solicit contributions and challenges that will take Ocean Research Drilling forward post 2013, when the existing programme ends. A number of NERC Theme Leaders will be present at the event, this will give the UK IODP community a chance to demonstrate and influence the future value and direction of the programme.
The two-day conference will cover a range of scientific themes:
- Geological Hazards, Seismogenic Zones and beyond
- Evolution of the Planet
- Climate, Sea-level, ice-sheets and Greenhouse/Icehouse states
- New Adventures into the Subsurface and Deep Biosphere
The conference aims to showcase post-graduate, PhD and post-doctorate research which has made use of the extensive wealth of data collected during the varied IODP Expeditions. A session of the conference will be an open discussion on the future IODP Programme beyond 2013.
Poster sessions form an integral part of the 2-day event, please indicate on your registration form if you plan to submit a poster.
Travel and subsistence funds are available for 40 student and post-doctorate participants who present a poster and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please indicate on your registration form if you would like to apply for funding.
For a number of posters we will invite an oral contribution to the open session of the programme where you will have a chance to introduce your poster. Individuals invited will have their travel costs reimbursed.
In addition, during the open session conference participants will have the opportunity to present their thoughts on what IODP should focus on in the future.
Please be aware that places for this event are limited and we recommend that you register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
