*Apply to Sail on Cascadia Initiative Expedition (Summer 2013)*

/*Opportunity for Students and Early-Career Scientists: Sail on a
Cascadia Initiative Expedition in 2013*/

Students and early-career scientists are invited to sail on Cascadia
Initiative (CI) Expeditions during the 2013 field season. The Cascadia
Initiative Expedition Team (CIET) is leading six oceanographic
expeditions during 2013 that will recover and redeploy ocean bottom
seismometers (OBSs) as part of the NSF-sponsored Cascadia Initiative.
The scientific goals of the CI and expedition details can be found at
http://cascadia.uoregon.edu. On each of the six expeditions berths for
2 to 4 additional students/scientists will be available. Cruise
schedules are approximate and dates could change up to one week in
either direction; applicants should possess sufficient flexibility in
their schedule to accommodate this uncertainty and must arrive in port
at least one full day prior to sailing. Travel funds will be provided
to and from the port of departure (Astoria, Oregon).

The goal of this call for open participation is to help expand the user
base of OBS data by providing opportunities for students and scientists
to directly experience at-sea acquisition of OBS data. Participants
must have a strong interest in learning field techniques, be willing to
work long hours at sea assisting in OBS deployment, recovery and
preliminary data processing and have an interest in working with the
data collected. Eligible applicants include graduate students and
early-career scientists in fields related to seismology. Preference
will be given to employees of U.S. institutions. All CI data is
publically available via the IRIS DMC.
/*Applications should be completed on line by May 1, 2013:*/

A 2-page CV and a brief statement of interest (not to exceed 250 words)
describing the applicant's experience in geophysics and motivation for
participating in this expedition are requested. Applicants who will be
graduate students during summer 2013 must include a letter of support
from their advisor. Participants will be ranked by the CIET and
notified by May 15, 2013.

Questions should be directed to Douglas Toomey <drt<at>uoregon.edu>.
