[OBSIPtec] NSF-UNOLS Active Source Marine Seismology Webinar Series - Register by April 3rd

[Kasey Aderhold]

Please see the announcement below on a series of webinars for marine 
seismic acquisition training. This will be a great opportunity for 
early-career scientists to learn the ropes and be prepared to run their 
own experiment in the future, but the webinars are also open to anyone 
who is interested in active source marine seismology. Please see the 
information below and direct any questions to the contacts at the bottom 
of the announcement.

Cheers,
Kasey


*Informational Webinars for NSF-UNOLS Early Career Scientist Training in 
Seismic Data Acquisition and Processing*

**The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded an Early Career 
Scientist Training Cruise in Seismic Data Acquisition and Processing to 
take place aboard the R/V /Revelle/ in September 2017. The official 
announcement and application form for this opportunity will be 
forthcoming. As part of this effort, the program's Principal 
Investigators will be hosting a three-part webinar series, which will 
provide participants with necessary information to complete the 
application package, including a 2-page (maximum) science proposal. The 
webinars will introduce the participants to the process of defining 
science goals, developing detailed cruise plans to meet those goals, and 
to fundamentals of active source marine seismology.  The course will 
also cover the use of currently available data and open source 
processing and interpretation tools to help develop a proposal.

The program PIs are: Masako Tominaga (TAMU), Anne Trehu (OSU), Mitch 
Lyle (OSU), and Gregory Mountain (Rutgers), with additional support from 
Nathan Bangs (UTIG).

/* this cruise has been designed for (but is not limited to) graduate 
students and early career scientist who are "non-specialists" in active 
source seismic, but we welcome any interested parties for this webinar 
series!/
