Charting the Future Course of Scientific Ocean Drilling (CHART)

February 2, 2009 – March 13, 2009 – Online
Convener: USSSP

Overview

The CHART Workshop was a six-week on-line meeting to gather input from the U.S. science community regarding future research directions of scientific ocean drilling. The CHART meeting had six discussion boards, each with initial questions intended to stimulate discussion on current emerging fields, unanswered research questions, implementation strategies, and potential future directions for the next scientific drilling program. The workshop report summaries these discussions and presents a vision for the new science plan.
