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

第六届美日地震研究自然资源小组两年一次的会议将于2006年11月8日至11日在日本四国德岛举行。该提案的pi已申请资金支持8名早期职业科学家出席的旅费。技术会议将集中讨论大板块间地震和海啸，瞬态变形和地震现象，包括慢滑和非火山震颤，地震系统的可预测性，以及深矿山和深钻孔的原位研究结果。该小组将重点关注四国的重要地质地点，这些地点受到该地区沿海大地震和海啸的影响。会后的实地考察将有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，即中构造线。该小组的美国成员包括美国地质勘探局（牵头）、美国国家科学基金会、美国国家航空航天局、科学与技术委员会、IRIS和UNAVCO。美国代表团的总人数预计在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.
