Direct inquiries regarding conference proceedings, research collaborations, and laboratory access to the appropriate scientific committee members.
Get the right response for your geoscience inquiry
Managing correspondence across multiple geoscience disciplines requires structured routing. General inquiries often face delays when sent to broad administrative inboxes—directing specific technical questions to the designated scientific lead ensures a precise response. The current communication framework prioritizes direct contact with domain specialists over centralized processing. This approach prevents misclassification of complex methodological questions.
What you can contact us about
The committee handles requests spanning from unconventional resources to basin analysis tectonics. We process inquiries related to published proceedings, methodological clarifications from past conferences, and access to specific datasets. Identifying the exact nature of your request dictates the review timeline. Clear categorization accelerates the initial assessment phase, leaving the open question of which specific analytical track best fits your proposal.
Send your inquiry to Dr. Wei-Ling Chen
Dr. Wei-Ling Chen directs the primary review of incoming technical correspondence. Address messages regarding overarching conference themes, committee operations, or cross-disciplinary research directly to her office. Initial contact should outline the core scientific question or proposal scope to guarantee an accurate routing decision.

For prospective PhD students and researchers
Graduate candidates seeking alignment with ongoing stratigraphy sedimentology or seismic geophysics projects must outline their methodological background. Attach a current curriculum vitae and a brief statement of research intent. The committee evaluates these submissions based on current analytical capacity and alignment with upcoming convention themes. Highlighting specific technical competencies provides a clearer basis for potential integration into active research tracks.
Collaboration and archive-use requests
Joint work dating to the initiative's early years established the current framework for data sharing. Researchers requesting access to historical proceedings or raw seismic data archives must submit a formal proposal. Detail the intended analytical methods and expected publication venues. Archive retrieval times depend heavily on the digitization status of pre-2010 physical records. Structuring requests around specific geological formations or temporal ranges yields the best identification of relevant materials.
Lab visits and technical material access
Physical access to affiliated laboratory spaces requires prior authorization. Visiting researchers must complete certified safety orientations before handling physical core samples or operating specialized geochemical equipment. Submit visitation requests at least four weeks prior to the intended arrival date. This lead time allows facility managers to coordinate equipment availability alongside ongoing environmental geochemistry analyses.
