CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - ECORD Facility Board
|
|
|
|
 
| The European Consortium of Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) is now accepting applications from active, leading international scientists to serve as Science Board Members on the ECORD Facility Board, the key forum for planning IODP mission-specific platform (MSP) expeditions, operated by ECORD. |
| Within IODP, each platform provider uses a Facility Board to make and inform decisions on the effective use of its drilling facility in fulfilling the objectives of the IODP Science Plan. |
| The primary tasks of the ECORD Facility Board are to: |
- recommend MSP expedition schedules, based on ready-to-drill, high-priority science proposals, optimal geographic distribution and costs
- assess the Annual ECORD Plan, including operations schedule, data management, publications, core curation, and scientific technical development
- advise on long-term planning of MSP expeditions
- participate in ECORD reviews of completed MSP expeditions
- liaise with all major entities of IODP
The ECORD Facility Board consists of a Science Board (six international scientists: 3 ECORD, 1 US, 1 Japan, 1 associated IODP member country) and the Executive Bureau (ECORD Executive Council Members, the ECORD Management Agency Director and the Chairs of ESO, ESSAC and ECORD-ILP), together with representatives of IODP entities and funding agencies (see http://www.ecord.org/ecord-fb.html).
|
Here we are seeking two new Science Board members, specifically one from Japan and one from an associated IODP member country (Australia, China, India, New Zealand, South Korea).
|
The ECORD Facility Board meets once a year. The new members are expected to serve for two years, starting 1 January 2023. Travel costs for related activities are fully covered by the relevant IODP national funding organizations.
|
Application Process: Interested scientists should send the following documents as PDFs to the ESSAC Office: (1) a letter of interest, including your area of expertise, research interests and previous involvement in DSDP/ODP/IODP (if applicable), (2) a CV and (3) a list of publications. To avoid conflicts of interest, applicants should not be proponents on active MSP proposals that are in the review stage or have yet to be recommended for scheduling.
|
| Please e-mail applications to essac@ogs.it (by 1 September 2022) and notify the ANZIC Office that you have submitted an application to ECORD for this position. |
For further information or questions, please contact: |

Expedition 401: Mediterranean–Atlantic Gateway Exchange https://docs.iodp.org/Proposal_Cover_Sheets/895-ADP3_Flecker_cover.pdf
Expedition 402: Tyrrhenian Continent-Ocean Transition https://docs.iodp.org/Proposal_Cover_Sheets/927-Full2_Zitellini_cover.pdf
Expedition 403: Eastern Fram Strait Paleo-archive https://www.iodp.org/docs/proposals/1111-985-full2-lucchi-cover/file
Expedition 404*: Arctic–Atlantic Gateway Paleoclimate https://www.iodp.org/docs/proposals/1109-979-full2-geissler-cover/file
*If the schedule has to be adjusted due to demobilisation or decreased funds, Expedition 404 will likely be removed.
How can our Australian and New Zealand colleagues support and strengthen our collaboration
with our US colleagues as they prepare for Scientific Ocean Drilling in a Post-IODP Era?
Four ways ANZIC members can engage with US-SODA:
- Sign the petition to show your support. It takes less a minute!
- Read the open letter to the NSF Director: https://us-soda.org/open-letter-to-the-nsf-director-16-may-2022/
- Institutional/group letters to the NSF Director and GEO and OCE leadership (cc-ed to US-SODA) are encouraged. Work with your Deans, VPR, Provost and/or President or Chancellor to send this letter before July 15. Ask if they agree to becoming a member of US-SODA (free) and be listed on http://us-soda.org
- The Science Mission Requirements (SMR) workshop report will be released July 15, comments due October 1, 2022. The report will be circulated around when made available and ANZIC members are invited to comment.
Key dates in 2023
- Feb 2023, is when NSF will inform the JRSO that it intends to seek award renewal
- If given the green light, a call for new JOIDES Resolution proposals will open April 1, 2023
- JOIDES Resolution 45-year dry dock is scheduled for Oct-Nov, 2023

Contribute to Future Planning:
Comment on the Draft Guidelines for Science Proposals using a U.S. Drillship
|
|
|
The comment period will be open until August 31, 2022
The JOIDES Resolution Facility Board (JRFB) invites the international community to provide comments and input on the recently released draft proposal guidelines. These guidelines are aimed at science proposals to use a future U.S. globally ranging, non-riser drilling platform to address the 2050 Science Framework.

CALL - JOIDES Resolution Facility Board (JRFB)
|
|
|
| JOIDES Resolution Facility Board (JRFB) |
|
|
|
| USSSP is seeking senior scientists from non-U.S. IODP partners/consortia to serve on the JOIDES Resolution Facility Board (JRFB). The JRFB provides operational and management oversight of the JOIDES Resolution in fulfilling the objectives of the IODP Science Plan. New JRFB member terms will begin on October 1, 2022 and extend through the end of IODP (September 30, 2024). Full terms of reference for the JRFB are available here. |
|
| Scientists interested in volunteering for these opportunities should send a cover letter and a two-page CV to usssp@ldeo.columbia.edu by July 8, 2022. Letters should clearly indicate your primary field of expertise, briefly document previous committee experience, describe your interest in the scientific ocean drilling programs (now and in the future), and identify your preferred panel or committee assignment. Candidates for the JRFB should have an extensive history of participation in scientific ocean drilling. We encourage the involvement of early- and mid-career scientists on USAC and SEP, as well as those with more experience. |

ICDP Workshop CALDERA:
Connections Among Life, geo-Dynamics and Eruptions in a Rifting Arc caldera
January 24-27, 2023, Tauranga, New Zealand
Caldera volcanoes produce Earth’s largest explosive eruptions, generate seismicity both independent and associated with unrest and eruptive periods, host mineral and geothermal resources that interact with groundwater, and support a largely unexplored biosphere. Many silicic calderas are hosted in an active rift. Volcanic, tectonic, hydrologic and biologic processes in calderas are intimately connected, yet poorly understood, and require subsurface observations.
The project “Connections Among Life, geo-Dynamics and Eruptions in a Rifting Arc caldera (CALDERA)” aims to obtain drill cores, downhole measurements and monitoring data from the Okataina Volcanic Centre (OVC), one of two giant active calderas in the Taupō Volcanic Zone, Aotearoa New Zealand. Members of the international scientific community are invited to attend a scientific drilling workshop in Tauranga, New Zealand, on January 24-27th 2023 in preparation for a future Full ICDP Drilling Proposal.
The CALDERA workshop call is online on the ICDP website here.
Application deadline is 17th August to caldera.drill@gns.cri.nz.
The Workshop will directly precede the IAVCEI Scientific Assembly at nearby Rotorua.
