Collaborative Research: Workshop for Integrated EarthScope Research and Education in the Northern Rocky Mountains

在北落基山脉（NRM）举行的地球望远镜研讨会将为各种各样的地球科学家提供一个机会，让他们会面并讨论地球望远镜将提供的机会，以提高我们对形成这部分大陆地壳的广泛过程的理解。NRM（通常定义为怀俄明州北部，蒙大拿州西南部和爱达荷州东部）是一个独特的环境，为研究与大陆地壳-地幔系统演化相关的许多关键现象提供了一个极好的自然实验室。我们计划于2005年初秋在蒙大拿州西南部举办一次为期2.5天的研讨会。会议将以一个一般性会议开始，向与会者通报地球范围的现状，并提供与NRM地质有关的主要科学问题的概述。组委会将负责制定会议议程，并参与选择发言人和与会者。该研讨会将为较小的工作组提供机会，以满足和确定科学目标，并评估EarthScope如何帮助实现这些目标。提供了可能的工作组主题和表示有兴趣参加的个人名单。闭幕会议将着重听取各工作组的介绍。适当和及时的公告将使所有有兴趣的人士有足够的机会申请参加。研讨会的更广泛影响将通过全面的网络发展来实现，该网络将支持研讨会后勤、研讨会前后活动、发布所有研讨会产品（例如讲座、海报、讨论摘要、论文、计划），并将开始编制一个区域范围的数字资源集。讲习班计划还将通过与研究型工作组并行建立一个E&amp；O工作组来解决地球范围教育和推广（E&amp；O）的目标。该研讨会还将有助于确定和招募有兴趣在NRM中为earthscope e&o做出贡献的同事。

An EarthScope workshop in the northern Rocky Mountains (NRM) will provide an opportunityfor a diverse array of earth scientists to meet and discuss the opportunities thatEarthScope will provide to improve our understanding of the wide range of processes thatformed this segment of continental crust. The NRM (generally defined as northern Wyoming,SW Montana, and eastern Idaho) is a unique environment that provides an excellent naturallaboratory for studying many critical phenomena associated with the evolution of thecontinental crust-mantle system. We propose to hold a 2.5-day workshop in the early fall of 2005 in SW Montana. The meeting will begin with a general session to inform participants of the current status of EarthScope and provide overviews of the overarching scientific questions related to thegeology of the NRM. An organizing committee will be charged to set the meeting agenda andparticipate in selection of speakers and participants. The workshop will provide theopportunity for smaller working groups to meet and identify scientific objectives andassess how EarthScope can help address these objectives. Possible working group topics andlists of individuals who have expressed an interest in attending is provided. A concludingsession will focus on presentations from the individual working groups. Appropriate and timely announcements will allow ample opportunity for all interested parties to apply to attend. The broader impacts of the workshop will be realized through comprehensive web developmentthat will support workshop logistics, pre- and post-workshop activities, posting of allworkshop products (e.g. talks, posters, discussion summaries, essays, plans), and willbegin to compile a region-wide digital resource collection. The workshop program will alsoaddress the EarthScope Education and Outreach (E&O) objectives by establishing an E&Oworking group in parallel with the research-oriented working groups. The workshop willalso serve to identify and recruit colleagues who are interested in contributing toEarthScope E&O in the NRM.
