Funds are provided to support the GeoPRISMS Office at Rice University from October 2010 through September 2013. The GeoPRISMS Program provides a framework for developing an integrated understanding of the origin and evolution of continental margins through focused studies that cross the shoreline. the Program maps a pathway of scientific investigation, guided by the MARGINS Decadal Review Committee and the MARGINS Successor Planning Workshop. The program will include: (1) two broad Initiatives focusing research into Rift Initiation and Evolution and Subduction Cycles and Deformation, (2) five overarching scientific themes that cross-cut tectonic categories, (3) interdisciplinary teams carrying out observational, experimental, and modeling studies, and (4) implementation of science objectives through focus-site and thematic-based studies. GeoPRISMS research will also see increased attention on US margins and facilities such as EarthScope and the Cascadia Amphibious Array. This science initiative will be guided by the GeoPRISMS Steering and Oversight Committee (GSOC), which will provide support, evaluation and oversight for the program, and will form the principal link to the broader scientific community. The GeoPRISMS Office will provide the organizational support for the community activities, which will feed back into the "science plans". The Office will organize planning and coordination efforts through support of the GSOC and related committees, and through promotion of planning meetings and workshops. Broader Impacts. Primary functions of the GeoPRISMS Office will be the support of scientific infrastructure through workshops, and dissemination of scientific results through publications. GeoPRISMS also has practical application to resource management and availability, and understanding and mitigating geohazards. Education and outreach will be a major activity of the Office, developing resources and providing opportunities for K-12 to early career scientists, including Distinguished Lecture Series, GeoPRISMS mini-lessons for undergraduate courses, postdoctoral fellowships, and Best Student Paper awards.

2010年10月至2013年9月期间，为支持莱斯大学的地理信息系统办公室提供了资金。GeoPRISMS方案提供了一个框架，通过跨越海岸线的重点研究，发展对大陆边缘起源和演化的综合理解。该计划在利润率十年审查委员会和利润率后续规划研讨会的指导下，规划了一条科学调查的道路。该计划将包括：(1)两项广泛的倡议，重点研究裂谷的形成和演化以及俯冲旋回和变形；(2)横跨构造类别的五个主要科学主题；(3)开展观测、实验和模拟研究的跨学科团队；以及(4)通过重点现场研究和以专题为基础的研究落实科学目标。GeoPRISMS的研究也将增加对美国边缘和设施的关注，如EarthScope和Cascadia两栖阵列。这一科学倡议将由GeoPRISMS指导和监督委员会(GSOC)指导，该委员会将为该计划提供支持、评估和监督，并将形成与更广泛的科学界的主要联系。GeoPRISMS办公室将为社区活动提供组织支持，这些活动将反馈到“科学计划”中。该办公室将通过支持GSOC和相关委员会，并通过促进规划会议和讲习班来组织规划和协调工作。更广泛的影响。地球空间信息系统办公室的主要职能将是通过讲习班支持科学基础设施，并通过出版物传播科学成果。GeoPRISMS在资源管理和可用性以及了解和减轻地质灾害方面也有实际应用。教育和外联将是该办公室的一项主要活动，为K-12到职业生涯早期的科学家开发资源并提供机会，包括杰出系列讲座、GeoPRISMS本科生迷你课程、博士后奖学金和最佳学生论文奖。
