Short Course - Using NSF's New Magnetotelluric Instruments and Data Processing Tools

Dear colleagues: 
Please join us for a workshop focused on Geophysical Data Citation, Attribution, and Licensing. This virtual workshop will take place over three days with four-hour sessions each day (October 17, 19, 21). The workshop aims to bring together scientists and stakeholders interested in citation and attribution of geophysical data.
Participation is encouraged for any scientists and stakeholders interested in shaping the future of data acknowledgement. 
There is no workshop fee. We ask that you register for the event through the workshop webpage <https://www.unavco.org/event/support-for-geophysical-data-citation-attribution-and-licensing-workshop/>.
The goals of the workshop include: 
Identify approaches for consistent data citation and attribution within the geophysical/geoscience communities in a way that works with most publishers and scientific organizations.
Discuss data set licensing options and implications.

Organizing committee: 
	Julie Elliott, Michigan State University
	Suzan van der Lee, Northwestern University
	Jonathan K MacCarthy, Los Alamos National Laboratory
	Clara Chew, UCAR
	David Mencin, UNAVCO	
	Donna Charlevoix, UNAVCO
	Jerry Carter, IRIS
	Chad Trabant, IRIS

Virtual Workshop - Geophysical Data Citation, Attribution, and Licensing

Announcing a Hands-On Data Resources Workshop for Marine/Solid Earth Geology-Geophysics-Geochemistry
Monday 24th - Tuesday 25th October, 2022
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Palisades, New York
Overview

This in-person workshop is focused on providing hands-on experience for accessing geoscience data through publically-available data resources. Held at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, participants will be exposed to a range of useful marine and solid earth geophysics-geochemistry community data tools and resources. Hands-on demonstrations and presentations will be given by data service/tool providers representing these different groups and initiatives:

Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS <https://www.marine-geo.org/index.php>)
Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT <https://www.gmrt.org/>) synthesis
EarthChem <https://earthchem.org/> geochemistry data resources
Lamont Core Repository <https://corerepository.ldeo.columbia.edu/> for seafloor sediments
IRIS-SAGE <https://www.iris.edu/hq/> national facility for seismological data
UNAVCO-GAGE <https://www.unavco.org/> national facility for geodetic data
NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NOAA-NCEI <https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/>)
GeoMapApp <http://www.geomapapp.org/>
Format
The hands-on activities of the workshop will be tailored to participant interests. In advance of the workshop, participants will be asked to complete a survey about their current data access needs and habits and to provide a high-level summary of their science and/or education interests.

During the event, participants will work in teams to identify a science question or geographical area of interest and will learn to find, assess, and access existing data and resources that could help with their investigations. Teams will be encouraged to develop simple how-to documents for future use that may be shared with others having similar research and education interests.

Data service/tool providers will be present throughout the workshop to help guide participants and to answer questions as well as to receive feedback themselves which could lead to changes in data systems and tools to better meet community needs.

Workshop Goals

Participants will:

Access a broad range of freely-available geoscience data tools and resources to help support their research and teaching efforts, and will learn how to discover and access data using these resources.
Assess which data tools and resources are of greatest interest and practice using them to address a scientific question.
Extend their professional networks through connections with geoscience data system providers and other participants.
Provide feedback to data service/tool providers on better ways to meet community needs.

Participants
Early-career geoscientists (graduate students, post-docs, early faculty) are invited to apply to attend the workshop. Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory values diversity, equity, and inclusion. The varied perspectives of a broad range of workshop attendees will produce better outcomes for all. In addition, we encourage early-career geoscientists of all identities, including dimensions such as culture, national origin, ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status to apply to be part of the workshop.

We aim to accept approximately 25 early-career geoscientists to participate in the workshop. Participants will be selected based upon likely beneficial impact from attending the event.

Application deadline: 21st September 2022. Successful applicants will be notified soon thereafter.

Click here <https://forms.gle/vrPHYSqF8ybTbkDp9> for the Application Form.

Logistics

Up to $700 (seven hundred dollars) will be available to each participant to help defray the cost of economy air travel and ground transportation to the event.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided on both days, and there will be a reception on the first evening.

Shared hotel accommodation will be provided at the Clinton Inn Hotel in Tenafly, New Jersey, within walking distance of the downtown area. Attendees needing/preferring single accommodation will have half the overnight room rate covered by the workshop grant. A shuttle bus will bring participants to and from the workshop on the Lamont campus.

All participants will be required to perform a rapid antigen COVID test prior to the start of the workshop. Test kits will be provided upon check-in at the hotel. Masks will also be provided and participants will be required to wear masks during the workshop sessions at Lamont and to comply with the prevailing COVID-19 policy <https://covid19.columbia.edu/> of Columbia University at the time of the workshop. Attendees may be required to show proof of vaccinations.
