Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island

 

A 2.5-day in-person workshop with an online option on an emerging interdisciplinary topic

 

 Important Dates

Registration including application for travel support opens: January 13, 2023

 Goals

Explore potential synergies and start the process of developing plans for closer collaboration between geophysicists and physical oceanographers on seafloor pressure.

Understand the processes that cause the variation of seafloor pressure.

Foster collaborations that will plan future activities to advance pressure seafloor geodesy and seek funding for national and international projects.

Travel Support

Travel support for US participants and invited speakers is available by funding from the Marine Geology and Geophysics (MGG) and the Physical Oceanography (PO) programs in the United States National Science Foundation. Priority will be given to early career scientists and graduate students. Senior and international participants are encouraged to use their own funding for travel. Hotels rooms during the meeting will be paid by the organizers.
