  • Review of successful examples of academic use of preexisting industry marine seismic data.
  • Discussion of strategies for developing joint industry-academic acquisition of new data, which are consistent with commercial and academic imperatives and data restrictions.
  • Discussion of a revised model for research vessel Langseth operations.
Travel and subsistence support is available for selected participants.To apply, contact the convenor at jamie@utig.ig.utexas.edu. Include a paragraph detailing your pertinent background and the value that you will bring to the workshop. Deadline: 1 September, 2013.

You are invited to participate in an interview to look at how scholars assign trust and authority to the information sources they choose, use, and cite. The project is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan foundation and the interview will be conducted by an individual of a research team from the University of Tennessee. By participating in an interview you will help inform and influence publishers, librarians, and policy makers on how researchers work within our current and changing digital times.

Interviews will last no more than an hour.
