We are pleased to welcome applications to take part in the workshop
“Tephra 2014 - Maximizing the potential of tephra for multidisciplinary
science”, to be held on August 3-7 at Portland State University in
Portland, Oregon, USA. Applications and abstract submissions are due by
April 15.
Meeting details:
This 4-day workshop will discuss major developments, best practices, and future directions/needs in tephra studies from the perspectives of
volcanology, tephrochronology, and Quaternary sciences. By bringing
together a broad array of scientists who study tephra for different
purposes, we intend to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and data
sharing.
Workshop registration will be limited to approximately 100 participants. We aim to include a broad representation of scientists and students who work with tephra, who could benefit from tephra data, or who work in settings which may contain tephra. We specifically plan to include volcanologists, tephrochronologists, archaeologists, geochronologists, paleoclimatologists, paleoecologists, paleolimnologists, glaciologists, petrologists, tectonophysicists, Quaternary scientists, atmospheric scientists, data managers, and others. Early career scientists, post-doctoral researchers, and senior graduate students are encouraged to apply. Applications are due April 15.
Applications for financial support for the workshop are pending. Should
travel support become available, information will be posted on the
meeting website.
50 Questions Exercise:
In conjunction with the meeting, we will be conducting a 50 questions,
challenges, and opportunities exercise. To contribute, please join the
meeting's VHub group: https://vhub.org/groups/tephra2014 Wiki pages for this exercise will be available soon.
Tephra Data Working Group:
We also plan to establish a tephra data working group to build upon the
collaboration and data sharing components of the workshop. This working
group will explore ways to increase the discoverability and
accessibility of tephra data to enhance tephra research and
interdisciplinary collaboration. To contribute to the tephra data
effort, please join the related VHub group:
