项目摘要

ThisThis project provides funding for travel support for U.S. researchers and students to attend a workshop on "Analog Modeling of Tectonic Processes" to be held in Austin, Texas, in early May of 2017. The workshop builds on a successful workshop on this topic held in 2015. Analog model experiments contribute substantially to the understanding of tectonic processes. In these experiments, weaker materials (sand, clay, etc.) take the place rocks and are deformed at high strain rates under controlled conditions thus producing scale models of the development of earth structures (faults, folds) and large-scale tectonic features (mountain belts, rift systems). The aim of this workshop is to bring together the tectonics analog modeling community to discuss future directions in the field, build collaborations with computer-based modelers, and develop curriculum materials. The workshop participants include experimentalists, computer modelers, students, and instructors who use analog models in their classrooms. The workshop will promote the analog modeling skills of early career researchers, thereby developing the future workforce in tectonics. The workshop will promote the participation of students, early career scientists, and researchers from underrepresented groups in the earth sciences.The past 10 years have seen a revolution within analog modeling of crustal deformation spurred by systematic rheological testing of analog materials and use of laser and image processing techniques for data analysis leading to a strengthening of the quantitative aspect of analog modeling. The vanguard of this revolution has been in Europe where laboratories have been implementing new approaches that permit greater control on experimental conditions, more accurate scaling of deformation and improved insights into the evolution of deformation and deformation processes. This multi-day workshop gathers leading US and international geoscientists who use analog and numerical modeling to discuss techniques that are revolutionizing experimental modeling, as well as challenges for performing and analyzing scaled experiments. This workshop provides a unique and largely informal opportunity for researchers to share some of their best practices. As a mechanism to foster idea-sharing, a half-day physical experiment followed by a half-day numerical analysis will be performed to encourage the entire group to engage in experimental set-up, trouble shooting, data gathering and analysis and to sensitize each community to the needs of the other. Curriculum material developed for the workshop will be freely available through the Science Education Resource Center.

该项目为美国研究人员和学生提供旅费，用于参加将于2017年5月初在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的“构造过程模拟建模”研讨会。该讲习班是在2015年举办的关于这一专题的成功讲习班的基础上举办的。模拟模型实验在很大程度上有助于理解构造过程。在这些实验中，较弱的材料(沙子、粘土等)取而代之的是岩石，在受控条件下以高应变率变形，从而产生地球结构(断层、褶皱)和大规模构造特征(山脉带、裂谷系统)发展的比例尺模型。这次研讨会的目的是将构造学模拟建模社区聚集在一起，讨论该领域的未来方向，与基于计算机的建模人员建立合作，并开发课程材料。研讨会的参与者包括实验者、计算机建模师、学生和在教室中使用模拟模型的教师。研讨会将促进早期职业研究人员的模拟建模技能，从而培养未来的构造学劳动力。讲习班将促进来自地球科学中代表性不足群体的学生、早期职业科学家和研究人员的参与。过去10年，由于对模拟材料进行了系统的流变测试，并使用激光和图像处理技术进行数据分析，从而加强了模拟模拟的量化方面，地壳形变模拟模拟发生了一场革命。这场革命的先锋是在欧洲，那里的实验室一直在实施新的方法，允许更好地控制实验条件，更准确地测量变形，并改进对变形和变形过程演变的洞察。这个为期数天的研讨会汇集了美国和国际领先的地球科学家，他们使用模拟和数值建模来讨论正在革新实验建模的技术，以及执行和分析大规模实验的挑战。这次研讨会为研究人员提供了一个独特的、基本上是非正式的机会来分享他们的一些最佳做法。作为一种促进思想交流的机制，将进行半天的物理实验，然后进行半天的数值分析，以鼓励整个小组参与实验设置、解决问题、收集数据和分析，并使每个社区对彼此的需求敏感。为研讨会开发的课程材料将通过科学教育资源中心免费提供。
