MICADAS Users Workshop; graduate student internship
Announcement: MICADAS Users Workshop
We are pleased to announce that the 2nd MICADAS User Workshop will be held on the campus of University of California Irvine on September 9–10, 2026, co-organized by KCCAMS (UCI), NOSAMS (WHOI) and AEL-AMS (uOttawa). The workshop is intended for individuals who currently have a MICADAS or related instrument at their institution, or who are actively planning to acquire one. Attendees are expected to share best practices, recent advances, successes, and challenges related to their MICADAS and peripherals. To learn more or to register please visit here.
Second Reminder: NOSAMS Graduate Student Internship opportunity
Two internships are awarded annually to U.S. based graduate students to carry out research at NOSAMS. Successful applicants are awarded funds to cover all analytical costs (for a modest number of analyses), round-trip travel and accommodation for a stay at WHOI, and subsistence while in Woods Hole, but not field work and sampling. Applications are due by June 1, 2026; see here for more information or to apply.
