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的实践者聚集在一起的研讨会。用户是那些在模型、计算或解释地质或地球物理观测中直接使用实验室数据的人。从事土材料力学性能的实验室实验研究的人员；一些从业者也是用户。讲习班的目的是评估这些群体的科学和技术需要，并开始对这些需要作出反应的进程。从科学和社会的角度来看，地质力学中有重要的研究目标可以确定，并且为了满足科学需求，对技术和社区资源有公认的需求。研讨会将集中讨论地球相对较浅部分的地质力学。这将包括上地幔和中下地壳的力学、发震带、增生楔、与能源和废物有关的地下系统，以及在所有这些环境中热水化学过程的作用。研讨会将支持早期职业科学家和学生参加。研究结果将广泛传播，并将产生一份关于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.
