Moving EarthScope Forward: A Series of Workshops for Science and Coordination

建议：2009年10月13日，美国国家科学基金会（NSF）在其2009年12月13日的一份报告中，将“地球范围”项目的资金用于支持一系列的研讨会，这些研讨会将有助于为“地球范围”设施的建设和协调做准备，这是NSF主要研究设备账户的一项提案。 EarthScope是一个大胆的跨学科倡议，由地球科学界的广泛部分开发，应用现代观测，分析和电信技术来调查北美大陆的结构和演变，以及塑造我们土地的活跃构造过程。 它将有助于减轻地震和火山等地质灾害的风险，开发自然资源，以及公众对动态地球的了解。 由该资助支持的研讨会将聚焦于科学，推进EarthScope组件之间的协调，并将该倡议的实质传达给整个科学界、其他联邦机构、州地质学家、地方官员和公众。

Proposal: EAR-0137983PI: JordanTitle: Moving EarthScope Forward: A Series of Workshops for Science and CoordinationThis grant is intended to support a series of workshops that will help to prepare for the construction and coordination of the EarthScope facility, which is a proposal to NSF's Major Research Equipment account. EarthScope is a bold interdisciplinary initiative developed by a broad segment of the Earth Science community to apply modern observational, analytical and telecommunications technologies to investigate the structure and evolution of the North American Continent, and the active tectonic processes that shape our land. It will contribute to the mitigation of risks from geological hazards - including earthquakes and volcanoes, the development of natural resources, and the public's understanding of the dynamic Earth. Workshops supported by this grant will focus the science, advance coordination among the EarthScope components, and communicate the essence of the initiative to the full scientific community, other federal agencies, state geologists, local officials, and the general public.
