The major goal of this fantastic Summer School is to bring PhD students and Postdocs in touch with scientific ocean drilling at an early stage of their career, inform them about the exciting research within the scientific ocean drilling programs that have been proven to be the most successful internationally collaborative research programs in the history of Earth sciences, and to prepare them for future participation in drilling expeditions. Such training will be achieved by taking the summer school participants on a “shipboard simulation” where they get familiarized with a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art analytical technologies and core description and scanning methods according to the high standards of scientific ocean drilling expeditions. In addition, the thematic topic of the summer school will be reviewed by various scientific lectures by the leading experts in the field.
