Presentation Transcript

  1. http://earthref.org/SBNResearch Coordination Network on Seamounts Seamount research involves many science disciplines that have much to gain from interfacing with each other. Over-coming the challenges of interdisciplinary integration are important to a successful biological, geochemical, geological and geophysical exploration of the seamount interface between the hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. 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 working on seamounts.

  2. SBN Mandate • Form an International Network of all Seamount Researchers • Organize Workshops • Promote Cross-Disciplinary Access to Seamount Data and Databases • Facilitate New Collaborations • Explores New Lines of Seamount Research Funding

  3. Project Sponsors • NSF ― Biological Sciences (BIO) Research Coordination Network (RCN) • NSF ― Ocean Sciences (OCE) • Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) NSF Project Outline • Funded for Five Years, Starting October 2005 • Two Workshops (2006 and 2009) • Database and Website Development based on Seamount Catalog + EarthRef.org

  4.
