2025 UNOLS / MSROC Early Career Workshop

NOTE:  This meeting is open by application/invitation only. 

Join us in New Orleans, LA for a two-day program designed to welcome and support new users of marine geophysics research facilities. The MSROC New Users Workshop will take place December 13–14, 2025, providing students, early career scientists, engineers, and technicians with an introduction to seismic and marine geophysical research, funding opportunities, key facilities, and the broader MSROC community. Participants will engage directly with experienced researchers, federal agency representatives, and MSROC leadership through presentations, discussions, and mentoring activities.

The workshop precedes the MSROC Annual Community Meeting on Sunday, December 14, an open forum highlighting scientific advances, facility updates, and community input related to NSF-supported marine seismic capabilities.

Transportation:

Getting to Loyola

The Loyola campus is easily accessible from the "St Charles at Tulane/Loyola" stop of the St. Charles Streetcar, a great way to experience New Orleans.  Jump on the streetcar at any of the stops along St. Charles St.  It is about a 30min ride from the convention center so plan ahead.    There are other possible public transportation options that might be more direct depending on your hotel.  Download the Le Pass App  to find the schedules and pay.  If not using the App, exact change ($1.25) is required to ride.  

See the map below.  The purple point indicate the meeting and dinner locations, blue are the stops for Bus Route 57, green are the St. Charles Streetcar stops.
