The AGU Fall Meeting 2023 is quickly approaching. This year, there will be several scientific ocean drilling related sessions that may be of interest to you (see attached list of AGU sessions highlighting scientific ocean drilling).

 

One of these sessions that we would like to bring your attention to is Session OS019: Multidisciplinary Approaches in Scientific Ocean Drilling to Investigate Interactions Within the Earth System. We encourage you to submit your abstract to this session that will focus on scientific ocean drilling experiments to investigate spatial and temporal changes in the (sub)seafloor.

 

The deadline for abstract submission is August 2, 2023.

 

We look forward to your contribution and hope to see many of you in San Francisco (or online).

Session Title:

OS019: Multidisciplinary Approaches in Scientific Ocean Drilling to Investigate Interactions Within the Earth System

 

Session Description:

Multidisciplinary approaches in scientific ocean drilling advance our understanding of the interconnections within the Earth system. We can reveal these dynamic interactions between Earth’s sediments, rocks, ocean, life, and atmosphere by focusing on spatial and temporal variations in subseafloor records of Earth’s past or of in-situ conditions. This can be achieved through 4D experiments, for example using transects of drill sites or through installation of (borehole) observatories that allow (sub-)seafloor monitoring and experimentation.

This session welcomes experimental, theoretical, modeling, and observation-based studies from recent and past International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) expeditions that contribute to our understanding of the interactions between the formation of ocean crust, the sediment it accumulates, the deep biosphere they both host, and the overlying evolving oceans. Examples include studies from the South Atlantic Transect, Louisville Seamount Trail, and Juan de Fuca Ridge-Flank Hydrogeology. We encourage submissions of both ocean and continental drilling related results.

Co-Conveners:

Julia Reece, Texas A&M University

Rosalind Coggon, University of Southampton

Melody Lindsay, Bigelow Laboratories for Ocean Sciences
