The MLSOC fall meeting is an open forum for marine scientists to learn about scientific discoveries and technical advances, as well as to express their opinions about the National Oceanographic Seismic Facility activities. The MLSOC meeting is held annually on the Sunday before the start of the AGU fall meeting.
The MLSOC is committed to increasing the involvement of students and postdoctoral/early career scientists. To that end, this program was designed to: 1) expose students and early career scientists to the MLSOC, 2) engage these participants in the MLSOC advisory activities, 3) offer participants training and mentoring in the process of developing research programs that use the Langseth, and 4) enable participants to network with scientists actively involved in Langseth-supported research. These goals will be achieved through a workshop (prior to the MLSOC meeting) with breakout sessions on ships and technical support, data, cruise planning and funding models and by directly involving participants in the MLSOC fall meeting.
