T-SECTOR General Assembly Meeting
"online only"
7th to 8th July 2026
Testing Solid Earth Climate connections Through mid Ocean Ridge time series
Dear T-SECTOR members and collaborators,
We are pleased to announce our third ERC-Synergy project T-SECTOR General Assembly (GA) after two and a half years since T-SECTOR kicked off. The GA will take place this year as an online only meeting.
The GA will provide an in-depth overview of the interdisciplinary science conducted and planed in T-SECTOR combining the expertise in marine geophysics, paleo-oceanography as well as igneous petrology and geochemistry.
The meeting will be about showcasing and discussing emerging research, informing about T-SECTOR developments and collaborations, presenting and discussing T-SECTOR cruise, particularly for SO321-1/2 which will take place this summer and laboratory plans.
Registration will be open until 06 July 2026 (the link to the registration form is at the bottom of this page).
The draft agenda is available below and will constantly be updated if applicalbe.
On behalf of the T-SECTOR team
Kaj Hoernle, Heidrun Kopp, and Martin Frank (GEOMAR, Kiel, DE)
Charles Langmuir (Harvard University, Harvard, USA)
