Workshop for Alaska EarthScope Synthesis and Future Opportunities in Canada with EON-ROSE: September 2019

阿拉斯加是主要构造板块边界的所在地，创造了引发重大火山活动和频繁地震的条件。尽管在过去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，但地球望远镜可移动阵列和板块边界观测站提供了在限制板块边界的结构和动力学方面取得重大进展的机会。该项目将支持一个讲习班，该讲习班将把来自不同学科的地球科学家聚集在一起，综合和综合来自地质学和地球物理学的信息，以便对阿拉斯加的构造有一个概括性的了解。该项目将支持约20名与会者参加这一讲习班，以及将在阿拉斯加锡特卡和加拿大怀特霍斯举办的两个补充性讲习班，并编写多份综合或审查文件。该项目还将促进美国-加拿大研究网络的发展。该项目将支持发展一个EarthScope合成讲习班，重点是阐明EarthScope在理解阿拉斯加的构造方面所取得的成就。研讨会的主要目标是编写多篇综合论文。讲习班将与美国地质学会彭罗斯会议和加拿大牵头的EON-ROSE(地球系统观测网络--Reseau d‘Observation du Systeme Terrestre)讲习班同时举行，以最大限度地让地球范围内的社区参与这些活动。研讨会的议程包括大约一天的全体会议和EarthScope综合讨论小组，然后从阿拉斯加州锡特卡到加拿大育空地区的怀特霍斯进行实地考察，与会者在不同的会议地点之间穿梭。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
