Workshop on Advancing Experimental Rock Deformation Research: Scientific and Technical Needs

这是一个将实验岩石变形数据的用户与实验岩石变形实践者聚集在一起的研讨会。用户是那些在模型、计算或地质或地球物理观测的解释中直接使用实验室数据的人。实践者是那些积极从事对地球材料力学性质的实验室实验研究的人；一些实践者也是使用者。讲习班的目的是评估这些小组的科学和技术需求，并开始响应这些需求的进程。从科学和社会的角度来看，可以确定地质力学的重要研究目标，而且人们认识到，为了满足科学需要，需要技术和社区资源。研讨会的重点将是地球相对较浅部分的地质力学。课程内容包括上地幔和中下地壳的力学、孕震带、沉积楔体、与能源和废物有关的地下系统，以及热水化学过程在所有这些环境中的作用。结果将被广泛传播，并将产生一份针对岩石变形的战略性社区建设文件。

This is a workshop to bring together the Users of Experimental RockDeformation data with the Practitioners of Experimental Rock Deformation. Users are those whomake direct use of laboratory data in models, calculations, or in the interpretation of geologicalor geophysical observations. Practitioners are those actively engaged in laboratory-basedexperimental research on the mechanical properties of Earth materials; some Practitioners arealso Users. The purpose of the workshop is to assess the scientific and technical needs of thesegroups and to begin a process of responding to those needs. There are important researchobjectives in geomechanics that can be identified, from both a scientific and societalperspective, and there are recognized needs for technological and community resources inorder to meet the scientific needs. The workshop will focus on geomechanics of the relativelyshallow portion of the Earth. This will include the mechanics of the upper mantle and lower-to-mid crust, the seismogenic zone, accretionary wedges, energy- and waste-related subsurface systems, and the role of thermalhydro-chemical processes in all these environments.The workshop will support attendance by early career scientists and students. The results will be broadly disseminated and will produce a strategic, community-building document for rock deformation.
