Alaska is home to a major tectonic plate boundary, creating conditions that give rise to significant volcanic activity and frequent earthquakes. Though progress has been made in the last 25 years in understanding the geology and tectonic history of Alaska, the EarthScope Transportable Array and Plate Boundary Observatory provide the opportunity to make significant advances in constraining the structure and dynamics of the plate boundary. This project would support a workshop that would bring together Earth scientists from different disciplines to integrate and synthesize information from geology and geophysics to provide a synoptic understanding of tectonics in Alaska. The project would support approximately twenty participants to attend this workshop, as well as two complementary workshops to be held in Sitka, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Canada, and result in the development of multiple synthesis or review papers. The project would also foster United States - Canada research network development. This project would support the development of a EarthScope synthesis workshop focused on elucidating what EarthScope has accomplished in understanding the tectonics of Alaska. The primary workshop goal is for the development of multiple synthesis papers. The workshop will be held in conjunction with a Geological Society of America Penrose conference and a Canadian-lead EON-ROSE (Earth-System Observing Network - Reseau d'Observation du Systeme terrestrE) workshop, to maximize the participation of the EarthScope community in these activities. The workshop agenda includes approximately one day of plenary talks and EarthScope synthesis discussion groups followed by a field trip from Sitka, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, that takes participants between meeting venues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

阿拉斯加是主要的构造板边界的家园，创造了导致大量火山活动和频繁地震的条件。尽管在过去的25年中，在了解阿拉斯加的地质和构造历史方面取得了进展，但可运输的阵列和板界天文台为限制板块边界的结构和动力学方面带来了重大进步。 该项目将支持一个研讨会，该研讨会将使来自不同学科的地球科学家聚集在一起，以整合和综合地质和地球物理学的信息，以提供对阿拉斯加构造学的概要理解。 该项目将支持大约二十名参与者参加该研讨会，以及在加拿大的Sitka，阿拉斯加和Whitehorse举行的两个互补研讨会，并导致开发多个合成或审查论文。 该项目还将促进美国 - 加拿大研究网络开发。 该项目将支持旨在阐明Earthscope在理解阿拉斯加构造方面所取得的成就的地球合成研讨会的发展。 主要研讨会目标是开发多个合成论文。 该研讨会将与美国地质协会彭罗斯会议和加拿大领导的Eon-Rose（地球系统观察网络-Reseau d'Ebseau d'Ebseveration du Systeme Terrestre）讲习班一起举行，以最大程度地提高地球社区参与这些活动。 研讨会议程包括大约一天的全体会谈和Earthscope合成讨论小组，然后从阿拉斯加的Sitka进行实地考察，加拿大Yukon Territory的Whitehorse进行了实地考察，该奖项在会议场所之间获得了参与者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力效果和宽阔的范围来评估了NSF的法定任务，并值得评估。
