The International Geological Congress, known as IGC 33, is scheduled for Oslo, Norway, from August 6-14, 2008. During the first week of the meeting (Aug. 6-10), a symposium on scientific drilling will be held, jointly supported by IODP and ICDP. Scientists worldwide are encouraged to submit abstracts for the symposium and participate in oral and poster sessions. The scientific drilling symposium will highlight IODP and ICDP projects that have made significant contributions to the understanding of Earth structure, climate change, and environmental evolution over the last four years. In particular, the conveners wish to feature projects that have required drilling and novel experimentation in locations including the Arctic, coral reefs, meteorite impact craters, fault zones, and fast-spreading oceanic crust. Abstracts should be submitted through the IGC 33 web site by Feb. 29, 2008, at 24:00. Please specify that your abstract is for Scientific Drilling, code SDD-01.
