Earthscope Workshop on Thermal Processes

地球望远镜是一项主要的地球科学研究计划，它将综合来自地震学(美国地震学阵列)、大地测量学(板块边界观测站)和地下采样和测量的科学信息，最初是在圣安德烈亚斯断层...(SAFOD)。对EarthScope调查的解释包括岩石圈的四维热状态和对影响大陆动力学的热过程的更好理解。该讲习班将确定地球范围内的重要热过程和解决这些问题的战略，突出新的研究途径，并提供与地球范围整合和协调热研究的途径。研讨会将审议1)需要在地球范围内解决的重要的地壳和岩石圈尺度的热和热流问题；2)成功解决这些问题所需的热数据和仪器；3)美国热流数据集的状况和改进数据库的战略；4)将热数据与地球范围的数据产品相结合，以及如何最好地协调与地球范围的活动。研讨会的结果将被记录在最终研讨会报告中，该报告可供更广泛的社区和跨学科使用，以规划和设计令人兴奋的科学。组织委员会由R.N.Harris(犹他大学)、D.S.Chapman(犹他大学)、C.F.Williams(美国地质调查局)、K.P.Furlong(宾夕法尼亚大学)组成。州立大学)，D.M.Saffer(大学怀俄明州)和C.H.琼斯(CU Boulder)。我们的研讨会将于2004年3月在盐湖城举行，与会者约45人，外加机构代表。

EarthScope is a major earth science research initiative that will integrate scientific information derived from seismology (USArray), geodesy (Plate Boundary Observatory), and subsurface sampling and measurement initially for the San Andreas Fault ...(SAFOD). Integral to the interpretation of EarthScope investigations is the four dimensional thermal state of the lithosphere and a better understanding of thermal processes influencing continental dynamics. This workshop will identify important thermal processes within the context of EarthScope and strategies for attacking those problems, highlight new avenues of research, and provide pathways for integrating and coordinating thermal studies with EarthScope. The workshop will consider 1) important crustal and lithospheric scale thermal and heat flow problems that need to be tackled within the EarthScope initiative; 2) thermal data and instrumental needs to address successfully these problems; 3) the state of the U.S. heat flow data set and strategies for improving the data base; 4) integrating thermal data with EarthScope data products and how best to coordinate activities with EarthScope. The results of the workshop will be captured in a final workshop report that can be used by a broader community and across disciplines to plan and designing exciting science.The organizing committee consists of R. N. Harris (Univ of Utah), D. S. Chapman (Univ of Utah), C. F. Williams (U.S. Geological Survey), K. P. Furlong (Penn. State Univ.), D. M. Saffer (Univ. of Wyoming) and C. H. Jones (CU Boulder). Our workshop will be held in Salt Lake City in March, 2004 and include approximately 45 attendees plus agency representatives.
