2017 VOICE Annual Group Meeting, May 17-19

The aim of this annul group meeting is to present the results thus far of the VOICE project, and to plan future activities. As such, this 3-day meeting will comprise: a colloquium talk to present the results, and also hear talks by other people who are interested in the subject, and may have alternative points of view, on the first day; the next two days would be devoted to more detailed discussion both within the various research groups, and exchanging between groups.  We are envisaging that there would be “break-out groups” for individual subject areas (e.g. bathymetry, hydrothermal signals, etc.), and then we would come together to hear reports in a meeting where all were present.  We would also meet altogether the second half of Friday afternoon to be clear on plans going forward.

Location

This 3-day meeting will be held in the Comer Geochemistry Building at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory campus. Please see driving direction, maps and visitor parking infomation at the bottom of this page.
