A pair of
students in Norway have taken the initiative to start-up a Web-based
forum in hopes of creating an international network for carbonate
researchers.
AAPG Student
member Bjarne Rafaelsen, of the University of Tromsø, is Webmaster
for www.carbonet.net
and an online Carbonate Forum, www.carbonet.net/forum.
"The Carbonate
Network is not funded in any way," Rafaelsen said, "so this is something
I am doing on my spare time."
The home
page includes a short presentation of the different members participating
in the carbonate network (their field of expertise, scientific interests
and contact information).
Rafaelsen
said the intent is to stimulate an increased exchange of knowledge
between carbonate researchers from different geological institutions,
and to form a forum where carbonate-related aspects can be discussed.
The effort
is for those who may be seeking good references related to a specific
topic, want to discuss specific problems, have questions or wish
to share information with relevance to parts of and/or the entire
network.
