1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Steve Kuehn <kuehnsc@xxxxxxxxx> Colleagues, The tephra working group is making fantastic progress on best practice recommendations < https://zenodo.org/record/4075613 > and their implementation. We are currently working with EarthChem < https://earthchem.org > and the System for Earth SAmple Registration (SESAR) < http://www.geosamples.org > on a new set of templates for tephra sample documentation, geochemical method documentation, and data reporting using recommended best-practice data and metadata fields. We are close to going live with a new tephra portal on the EarthChem website that will allow users to follow simple workflows to register tephra sites and samples at SESAR and submit microanalytical data to EarthChem. In order to complete these recent developments so that we can highlight them at our next workshop, we have decide to postpone our May 2021 workshop to a later date TBD. Best regards, Steve Kuehn <sckuehn@xxxxxxxxxxx> Kristi Wallace <kwallace@xxxxxxxx> Marcus Bursik <mib@xxxxxxxxxxx> Andrei Kurbatov <akurbatov@xxxxxxxxx> 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
