Further details will be announced soon but please show initial interest by contacting the InterRidge Office (coordinator@interridge.org)

Join us for a scientific Symposium, in tribute to Jean Francheteau, and a Summer School focused on geodynamic processes and biochemical interactions at seafloor spreading ridges.

Post-graduate, post-doctoral and research scientists interested in seafloor spreading processes and their interactions with the ocean and the biosphere are welcome to attend to these events.

The Symposium (August 27-28) is open to anyone, upon free registration. Abstracts for oral or poster presentations must be submitted by May 31st, 2012.

This meeting will take place on 3-7 Sept 2012 and will cover:
- Mid ocean ridges processes: volcanism, tectonics, and hydrothermalism
- Hotspots, ridges, and their interactions
- The fate of volcanic islands: from construction to destruction with a focus on the Mascarene Islands and the nearby Indian Ocean.

Further details and registration form 

In 2011 InterRidge initiated a discussion online and at a meeting attached to AGU, to identify the major science questions it was felt InterRidge should address in the next decade. A draft of the Third Decadal Plan 2014-23 is now available for consultation by the InterRidge community.
