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.<br>

funded an Early Career Scientist Training Cruise in Seismic Data
Acquisition and Processing to take place aboard the R/V <i>Revelle</i>
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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
