Organizers of Session OS07, "Advances in Scientific Drilling and
Operational Oceanography," announce a call for abstracts. The session
will be convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting,
14-18 December 2009, in San Francisco, California.
This session focuses on tools, instrumentation, services, and
technologies that serve the ocean geoscience and scientific drilling
community. Potential topics of interest include new or advanced sampling
and measurement tools, including Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and
Auntonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) operations, shipboard experiments,
sensors, laboratory workflow processes, data handling solutions, as well
as down-hole logging or geophysics tools and methods, and related
developments and facilities. One focus will be on tools and services
that serve multi-disciplinary operations and specifically advance
integrated research programs on future research vessels or ocean
observatories. A second emphasis is set on developments suited for
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) drilling platforms like Chikyu,
Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES)
Resolution, and mission-specific settings.
Session organizers are particularly interested in new developments, but
also welcome information about updates and improvements of existing
systems. Organizers aim to stimulate discussion and the exchange of
concepts between different geoscience and engineering communities. A
broad audience is targeted to ideally develop and foster the joint use
of tools and methods across different programs and platforms, and to
make scientific users aware of new developments in other fields.
The abstract submission deadline for this and all other sessions is
Thursday, 3 September 2009, at 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time. To submit
an abstract, you must enter the first author's current AGU member ID and
password at: http://agu-fm09.abstractcentral.com/.
