CSEDI: CIDER-II: Continuation and Expansion of the Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research

自2004年以来，动态地球研究合作研究所一直在开展为期6-7周的两年一次的夏季项目，以促进个人和小组研究人员之间的协同作用。目标是通过多学科的方法，促进地震学、地球化学、地球动力学、矿物物理学和地磁等学科之间的交叉教育，帮助提高对地球演化和当前动力学的基本理解。CIDER促进地球科学家在其职业生涯的任何阶段的交叉教育。夏季项目包括3-4周的讲座、辅导和工作组活动，这些活动有助于对固体地球科学所有学科的研究生和博士后进行多学科教育。CIDER的工作将最终影响如何更好地解决与社会相关的两个关键自然灾害问题：(1)地震和火山爆发等自然灾害；(2)挥发性元素，特别是水和二氧化碳的全地球收支。CIDER的第二阶段建立在CIDER第一阶段5年的经验基础上：2004年、2006年和2008年的三个夏季项目，以及2009年5月在加利福尼亚州马可尼中心举行的社区研讨会（该研讨会建议继续和扩大CIDER项目）和正在进行的2010年夏季项目的投入。这些项目都集中在“地球深处”的科学主题上。CIDER二期项目将于2011年6月27日至8月6日在加州大学伯克利分校举行为期6周的暑期项目，主题为“造山动力学”，将CIDER项目扩展到研究近地表地球过程的多学科社区。此外，它还在两个方面扩展了CIDER的活动：1)在2010年和2011年举办的暑期项目中，由多学科工作组开展的后续研究；2)扩展CIDER网络功能，特别是试验和开发一个支持性的虚拟组织。

The Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research has been conducting 6-7 week long bi-annual summer programs since 2004 to foster synergies between individual and small groups of researchers. The goal is to help improve fundamental understanding of the Earth's evolution and present dynamics through a multi-disciplinary approach that facilitates cross-education among the disciplines involved: seismology, geochemistry, geodynamics, mineral physics and geomagnetism. CIDER facilitates cross-education of earth scientists at any level in their career. Included in the summer programs are 3-4 weeks of lectures, tutorials and working group activities that contribute to the multi-disciplinary education of graduate students and post-docs in all disciplines of solid earth sciences. The work of CIDER will ultimately impact how to better address two key natural hazards issues of societal relevance: (1) natural hazards such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; and (2) the whole-Earth budget of volatile elements, especially water and carbon dioxide.Phase II of CIDER builds upon 5 years of experience with CIDER Phase I: three summer programs in 2004, 2006 and 2008, and input from a community workshop held at the Marconi Center, CA, May 2009 (which recommended continuation and expansion of CIDER programs) and an on-going 2010 summer program. These programs have all focused on 'deep Earth' science themes. Phase II of CIDER includes a 6 week long summer program to be held at UC Berkeley from June 27th to August 6th, 2011 on the theme 'The dynamics of mountain building', expanding the reach of CIDER to the multi-disciplinary community working on near-surface earth processes. In addition, it expands the activities of CIDER in two areas: 1) follow-up research started by multi-disciplinary working groups during the Summer programs held in 2010 and 2011; 2) expansion of the CIDER web capabilities, in particular, to experiment with and develop a supporting virtual organization.
