518 CANCELED Successfully Planning and Executing Your Limnogeology/Paleolimnology Project.
Whether you are a graduate student, professor, or researcher, you need to get the most scientific bang for your budget. You may have a multi-investigator project in a far-flung part of the world, or a local project you run on your own—in every case, logistics, project management, budgeting, instrumentation access, broader impacts, data management, and interpersonal relationships are all critical. How do you accomplish all this and still get to do your science? In this workshop we will present typical workflows and case studies of modern and ancient lake coring, drilling, and outcrop projects. We will discuss project management (including soft skills!), support from multi-user facilities, career development, near-peer mentoring, funding sources, geochronology, and outreach and education with cores. In the afternoon we’ll have a few topical deep-dives, including saline lakes, fluid inclusions, outcrop/drill-core studies of ancient lakes, the times “when lakes lead us astray,” and neopaleolimnology of urban lakes. We’ll end with a panel Q&A session. Instructors will include Amy Myrbo (organizer), Kathleen Benison, David Finkelstein, Simon Goring, Anders Noren, Lisa Park Boush, and Michael Elliot Smith. Course content will lean toward paleorecords, but instructors have knowledge of other domains and will be happy to answer questions.
