  • This event has passed.

Are you interested in getting an up to 40 m long marine sediment core for either high-resolution Holocene or Late Quaternary reconstructions? For example, for high resolution Holocene or Late Quaternary reconstructions or any other science question. If so, please read on!

We are pleased to invite you to a community workshop (hybrid format) to develop and discuss plans for future use of the Giant Piston Corer (GPC) from the new NERC research vessel, the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Note: The ship’s geographical working areas are not only limited to the polar regions, so this call is not just for polar scientists.

If you are interested in attending, please register by 15th of March 2024. Please also note that in-person places are limited to 40 and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
