Workshops Greenland Ice Sheet History 7-9 November 2011, Corvallis, Ore. Convener: Joe Stoner (OSU) USSSP support: $26,000 Circum-Arctic Ocean Shelves and Continental Slopes December 2011, San Francisco Convener: Carolyn Ruppel (USGS) USSSP support: $40,000 Observatories in Scientific Ocean Drilling September 2012, Houston Convener: Brandon Dugan (Rice) USSSP support: $40,000

Mapping the Sumatran Marginal Plateau Sean Gulick and James Austin (UT Austin) received $13,331 for graduate student to interpret bathymetry and seismic data for IODP Proposal 704-Full2. Observatory Fabrication for J-FAST Patrick Fulton (UT Austin) received $14,998 for salary and travel to fabricate observatory instruments for Expedition 343; IODP-MI committed funds for materials. Osa Melange Investigation Robert Harris (Oregon St. Univ.) received $2,055 in travel funds to examine outermost forearc of Middle America Trench erosive plate boundary as exposed on Osa Peninsula, Cost Rica, in preparation for Expedition 344. Pre-Drilling Activities

U.S. Community Workshop Goals: Demonstrate size and breadth of U.S. IODP research base. Determine U.S. research priorities within context of internationally developed post-2013 IODP Science Plan. Set stage for smooth transition (increase number of ready-to- drill proposals in SAS, prepare for more efficient ship tracks, build collaborations and synergies, etc.). Process: 1.Online community survey in December 2011 – January 2012; results will guide final development of in-person workshop. 2.Community workshop on 30 April – 2 May 2012 in Denver; 75 participants, selected from survey respondents, will represent broader community.
