DESCRIPTION:\n	Cabled observatories provide marine scientists with a large
  number of opportunities  previously completely unavailable. In this work
 shop\, taking place in NIKHEF\, Amsterdam (the Netherlands) on the 24th an
 d 25th of May 2012\, marine scientists (geoscientists\, biologists\, ocean
 ographers\, etc) and astroparticle physicists will jointly discuss current
  and future research options using deep ocean cabled observatories\, the f
 uture of ocean research.\n	Some of the current cabled observatories were c
 onstructed specifically for ocean research. Others\, such as the three pil
 ot neutrino detectors - ANTARES\, NEMO and NESTOR - in the Mediterranean d
 eep sea\, have been built by astroparticle physicists in order to search f
 or cosmic neutrinos.\n	In both cases\, these observatories have led to maj
 or scientific breakthroughs in their respective fields\, of which a large 
 number is summarised in a recent report produced by ASPERA entitled “Fro
 m the Geosphere to the Cosmos”.\n	Just before the start of construction 
 of the first phase of KM3NeT\, the cubic-kilometre sized neutrino detector
  in the Mediterranean sea (an ESFRI infrastructure)\, ASPERA considered it
  vital to open the floor for extensive discussions amongst scientists from
  different disciplines\, all working around deep sea cabled observatories.
 The first day of the workshop will be dedicated to current research that u
 ses the cabled detectors in the Mediterranean\, but also to the global per
 spective\, to research carried out in cabled observatories in Canada and t
 he United States. The second day is dedicated to the future. What scientif
 ic questions could be answered thanks to collaborations around cabled obse
 rvatories in the Mediterranean and beyond? \n	For more information please
