2006 UJNR Workshop/Tokushima, Japan: Travel Support for Early Career US Scientists

第六届美国-日本自然资源地震研究小组将于2006年11月8日至11日在日本四国德岛举行会议。该提案的主要研究者要求提供资金，以支持8名早期职业科学家参加会议的差旅费。技术会议将侧重于板间大地震和海啸、瞬态变形和地震现象，包括缓慢滑动和非火山震颤、地震系统的可预测性以及深矿井和深钻孔现场研究的结果。该小组将重点关注四国受大地震和海啸影响的重要地质遗址。会后的实地考察将提供机会，看到过去灾难性海啸的迹象，独特的地震灾害预防设施，以及一个主要的活动断层，中间构造线。该小组的美国成员包括USGS（牵头）、NSF、NASA、SCEC、IRIS和UNAVCO。美国代表团的总人数预计将在20至25人左右。

The 6th biannual meeting of the U.S.-Japan Natural Resources Panel on Earthquake Research will be held in Tokushima, Shikoku, Japan on November 8-11, 2006. The PIs of this proposal have requested funds to support the travel costs for 8 early-career scientists to attend. The technical sessions will focus on great interplate earthquakes and tsunamis, transient deformation and seismic phenomena including slow slip and nonvolcanic tremor, predictability of the earthquake system, and results from in situ studies in deep mines and deep bore holes. The panel will focus on important geologic sites on Shikoku that are affected by great earthquakes and tsunamis off the coast of this area. A post-meeting field trip will provide the opportunity to see signs of past catastrophic tsunamis, unique facilities for earthquake disaster prevention, as well as a major active fault, the Median Tectonic Line. The U.S. members of the panel include USGS (lead), NSF, NASA, SCEC, IRIS and UNAVCO. The total U.S. delegation is expected to number about 20-25.
