This proposal is submitted by Brown on behalf of an ad-hoc Workshop Planning Committee, as follows: Michael Brown (Laboratory for Crustal Petrology, Department of Geology, University of Maryland); Jessica Faust Larsen (Geophysical Institute, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Alaska Fairbanks); Cathryn Manduca (DLESE Community Issues and Groups, Geology Department, Carleton College); Tracy Rushmer (Department of Geology, University of Vermont); Basil Tikoff (Department of Geology & Geophysics, University of Wisconsin-Madison); and, Ben van der Pluijm (Department of Geological Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor). The PI's request support for a one-day workshop to be held on Saturday October 26, 2002, in Denver, CO, which is the day before the Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America. The Workshop is proposed as the first in a series to support a specific agenda - the integration of the Solid Earth Sciences as the central core of Geology through the development and promotion of research priorities, educational initiatives and outreach. The Solid Earth Sciences concern the characterization, origin, and evolution of planetary lithospheres. Various processes have modified the lithosphere throughout geologic time. Investigating them requires studies of not only active environments but also the geologic record of ancient events. Research in the Solid Earth Sciences is inherently multidisciplinary and increasingly interdisciplinary. This approach characterizes not only larger projects supporting multiple scientists (e.g., Continental Dynamics and Instrumentation & Facilities Programs at NSF) but also most of the smaller projects within the Solid Earth Sciences (e.g., Petrology & Geochemistry and Tectonics Programs at NSF). The Solid Earth Sciences represent an essential element at the core of Earth Sciences; educational programs should reflect the inherently multidisciplinary and increasing interdisciplinary nature of the Solid Earth Sciences, and the foundation the Solid Earth Sciences provide for the other elements of Earth Science. The PI's contend that any new long-range plans for Earth Sciences at NSF must advocate continued and readily identifiable support for research, education and outreach in the Solid Earth Sciences. Therecord shows that advances in Solid Earth Sciences are achieved when research support is provided through small grants to individual PIs (e.g., Geophysics, Petrology & Geochemistry and Tectonics Programs), through support of infrastructure (e.g., Instrumentation and Facilities Program), through large grants to several PIs (e.g., Continental Dynamics Program) and through integration among the sub- disciplines (e.g., the Plate Tectonics revolution). The PI's agenda for the Solid Earth Sciences will complement the EarthScope initiative, but it is not dependent upon EarthScope being funded. This request is for support to enable attendance by 50-100 participants (minimum 50, maximum 100) representative of the spectrum of Solid Earth Sciences and sympathetic to the symbiotic relationship between research, education and outreach. The participants will be selected from a pool composed of invited and self-motivated applicants to ensure balance, both across the Solid Earth Sciences and among research, education and outreach. The primary goal of the Workshop is to promote an integrated and coherent approach to planning for the future of the Solid Earth Sciences. The integration will be both across the sub-disciplines in the Solid Earth Sciences and among the synergistic activities of research, education and outreach. The outcomes of the Workshop will be: a report to be submitted to the Division of Earth Sciences by December 1, 2002, and customized versions to be submitted to Eos, Geotimes and GSA Today during the month of December, 2002; and, formation of an Integrated Tectonics Forum to continue the process.

本提案由布朗代表一个特设研讨会规划委员会提交，具体如下：马里兰州大学地质系地壳岩石学实验室（阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯地质与地球物理系地球物理研究所）（DLESE社区问题和小组，卡尔顿学院地质系）; Tracy Rushmer（佛蒙特大学地质系）; Basil Tikoff（&威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校地质地球物理系）; Ben货车der Pluijm（密歇根大学地质科学系，安阿伯）。PI请求支持将于2002年10月26日星期六在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的为期一天的研讨会，这是美国地质学会年会的前一天。该讲习班是一系列讲习班中的第一个，旨在支持一项具体议程-通过制定和促进研究重点、教育举措和外联活动，将固体地球科学作为地质学的核心。固体地球科学关注行星岩石圈的特征、起源和演化。在整个地质时期，各种各样的作用改变了岩石圈。调查它们不仅需要研究活动环境，还需要研究古代事件的地质记录。固体地球科学的研究本质上是多学科的，并且越来越多地跨学科。这种方法的特点不仅是支持多名科学家的大型项目（例如，NSF的大陆动力学和仪器设备计划），以及固体地球科学中的大多数小型项目（例如，岩石学、地球化学和构造学。固体地球科学代表了地球科学核心的一个基本要素;教育计划应反映固体地球科学固有的多学科和日益增长的跨学科性质，以及固体地球科学为地球科学的其他要素提供的基础。PI的主张，任何新的长期计划，地球科学在NSF必须倡导持续和容易识别的支持，研究，教育和推广固体地球科学。记录表明，固体地球科学的进步是通过向个别项目研究人员提供小额赠款来实现的（例如，地球物理学、岩石学、地球化学和构造学方案），通过支持基础设施（例如，仪器和设施计划），通过大量赠款给几个PI（例如，大陆动力学计划）和通过子学科之间的整合（例如，板块构造革命（Plate Tectonics Revolution）PI的固体地球科学议程将补充EarthScope倡议，但它不依赖于EarthScope的资助。本申请旨在提供支持，使50-100名与会者（最少50人，最多100人）能够出席会议，这些与会者代表了固体地球科学的各个领域，并赞同研究、教育和推广之间的共生关系。参与者将从一个由受邀和自我激励的申请人组成的人才库中选出，以确保固体地球科学以及研究，教育和推广之间的平衡。讲习班的主要目标是促进对固体地球科学的未来规划采取综合和一致的办法。这一整合将贯穿固体地球科学的各个分支学科，也将贯穿研究、教育和外联的协同活动。讲习班的成果将是：在2002年12月1日之前向地球科学司提交一份报告，并在2002年12月期间向地球观测卫星、地球时报和今日地球科学协会提交定制版本;以及成立一个综合构造论坛，以继续这一进程。
