The Subduction Zone Observatories (SZO) concept is a multidisciplinary facility and associated science program to study a significant portion of one or more of the circum-Pacific/Caribbean subduction zones as an integrated system. Subduction zones contain a rich diversity of tectonic processes operating at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, from plate-scale over millions of years to grain-scale over microseconds. Subduction zones span continental to oceanic environments, and interact with biological processes and climate. Subduction zones are responsible for many of Earth's most extreme natural events including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,and tsunamis. These hazards coupled with increasing population density in these regions leads to an urgent need to understand how subduction zones work to better inform hazard assessment, mitigation, forecasting, and early warning. Emerging technologies, strong international partnerships, open access data, and the success of long-term community experiments supported by EarthScope and MARGINS/GeoPRISMS establish a strong foundation to investigate the entire subduction zone system from an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective and at multiple scales.A Subduction Zone Observatory workshop will provide a critical forum to build community consensus across a range of disciplines and constituencies, and an opportunity for early career scientists and senior graduate students to help shape a new transformative initiative. A systems approach to the study of subduction zone processes promotes integration across multiple disciplines, interagency and international collaboration and partnerships, technological innovation, early career development, education and training for graduate students including students from underrepresented groups, and improved hazard assessment.

俯冲带观测站（SZO）概念是一个多学科设施和相关的科学计划，以研究一个或多个环太平洋/加勒比俯冲带的重要部分作为一个综合系统。俯冲带包含了丰富多样的构造过程，其作用时间和空间尺度范围很广，从数百万年的板块尺度到几微秒的颗粒尺度。俯冲带跨越大陆到海洋环境，并与生物过程和气候相互作用。俯冲带是地球上许多极端自然事件的原因，包括地震，火山爆发和海啸。这些灾害加上这些地区人口密度的增加，迫切需要了解俯冲带如何工作，以更好地为灾害评估、减灾、预测和预警提供信息。新兴技术、强大的国际合作伙伴关系、开放获取数据以及EarthScope和MARGINS/GeoPRISMS支持的长期社区实验的成功，为从综合、多学科的角度和多个尺度研究整个俯冲带系统奠定了坚实的基础。俯冲带观测站研讨会将提供一个重要论坛，以在一系列学科和选区之间建立社区共识，以及为早期职业科学家和高年级研究生提供帮助塑造新的变革性举措的机会。一个系统的方法来研究俯冲带的过程，促进跨学科，机构间和国际合作和伙伴关系，技术创新，早期职业发展，教育和培训研究生，包括学生代表性不足的群体，并改善危害评估的整合。
