U.S. Community WorkshopGoals:•Demonstrate size and breadth of U.S. IODP research base.
•Determine U.S. research priorities within context of internationally developed post-2013 IODP Science Plan.
•Set stage for smooth transition (increase number of ready-to-drill proposals in SAS, prepare for more efficient ship tracks, build collaborations and synergies, etc.).
Process:
1. Online community survey in December 2011 – January 2012; results will guide final development of in-person workshop.
2. Community workshop on 30 April – 2 May 2012 in Denver;75 participants, selected from survey respondents, will represent broader community.
