Registration is open for SEAMOUNTS '09 an international workshop for Interdisciplinary Seamount Sciences at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, organized by the Seamount Biogeoscience Network (SBN). This international workshop focuses on a wide range of biological, chemical and physical seamount science themes from their deep-earth origin to their oceanography, ecology and fisheries. This workshop will provide a representative overview over state-of-the art seamount science through keynotes and poster presentations. Register now ...
The EarthRef Digital Archive (ERDA) invites User Upload of digital files. We recommend that you use this digital archive to store any digital file that does not fit into the structure used by the MagIC Upload Wizard found on the upper left of this page. Typical ERDA file uploads may include field work pictures, animations, video excerpts, custom software, location maps, white reports, workshop volumes, field trip guides, etc. Uploaded files will be immediately available to all users of the EarthRef.org website.

The basic design of the EarthRef.org website has been updated based on feedback from many of its users. Currently, we are about to finish the Second Phase of this Redesign Project, in which we have improved the functionality and information displayed on the home pages for EarthRef.org, GERM, MagIC and ERESE. Each of these web sites will function as the Web Portal for its corresponding database, while taking advantage of the infra-structure provided by the EarthRef.org umbrella web site and database. Please check back with us on a regular basis to see how the design evolves over the next few months. We would appreciate your comments or suggestions through the Feedback form.
A two week learning segment on Hotspot Volcanoes has been implemented through a collaborative effort between Melanie McWilliams, a high school Earth and Planetary Science teacher at Chula Vista High School in California, and Jamie A. Russell, a masters student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Utilizing data collected during Jamie's research, the students were taught about the hotspot theory and how hotspot volcanoes are important to understanding other Earth science concepts. The segment begins with five lessons, one for each day of the week and culminates with a group project for the students. Read more ...
The First SBN Workshop finished successfully with the presentation of 20 keynote presentations and more than 25 posters. All keynote presentations are now available as Microsoft Powerpoint presentations, Adobe Acrobat PDF's or QuickTime Movies from the ERDA digital archive. Poster presentations will become available from this online archive as well over the coming weeks. Download here ...
The First SBN Workshop will be held on March 24-25, 2006 at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. The goal of the Seamount Biogeosciences Network (SBN) is to bring together all the diverse science disciplines involved in seamount research, to communicate about and discuss seamount science and to explore innovative ways to network amongst the diverse communities that work on seamounts. This upcoming workshop will feature keynote and discussion sessions on important seamount science issues, the sharing of data across disciplines, and the potential of sharing shore-based and seagoing logistics. SBN is funded as Research Coordination Network (RCN) by the NSF-BIO and OCE directorates. Read more ...
The Southern Indian Ocean Deepwater Fishers' Association (SIODFA) announces the first Voluntary Closures to High-Seas Deepwater Trawling in eleven Indian Ocean areas. Combined these areas equal Australia's Great Barrier National Park. By not fishing in these areas, their deepwater corals and accompanying benthic fauna will gain protection in one of the least explored deepwater areas of the world.
