Dear Colleagues,
CORE (COres for Research and E<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgcr.tamu.…>ducation) School<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgcr.tamu.…> is a five-day workshop (July 20-24, 2026) hosted by the Gulf Coast Repository (GCR). The overarching goal of CORE School is to provide a mechanism to maintain expertise in scientific ocean drilling methods and subseafloor core analysis. Please share this opportunity with early career researchers that may be interested--particularly those working on or interested in IODP materials/data, but have not had an opportunity to participate in a scientific ocean drilling expedition.
Additional goals of the workshop include:
* Improving knowledge in scientific ocean drilling methods,
* Increasing awareness of the scientific potential of legacy cores,
* Training a new generation of scientists in the analytical techniques available,
* Providing training on data analysis and correlation of different data sets,
* Providing networking opportunities for early career scientists and geosciences faculty, and
* Possibly identifying potential topics for legacy projects and drilling proposals.
The workshop will include the collection of new data using the instrumentation of the GCR<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgcr.tamu.…> and the exploration of related legacy data and the integration of legacy and newly collected data.
If you are interested in participating in this workshop, please complete the application<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…>.
We welcome applications from a wide range of specialties (e.g., sedimentology, physical properties, paleomagnetism), and we encourage graduate students, early career scientists, and faculty from non-R1 institutions, including two-year colleges, to apply.
Funding (including travel, meals, and incidentals) is provided for all U.S. participants.
Applications will close at the end of the day on February 15, 2026.
If you have any questions about the workshop or the application process, please contact Laurel Childress<mailto:childress@tamu.edu>.
All the best,
Brendan
