Collaborative Research: A Workshop Proposal for Integrated EarthScope Research and Education in the Northern Rocky Mountains

在北方落基山脉（NRM）举行的地球镜研讨会将为各种各样的地球科学家提供一个聚会和讨论的机会，地球镜将提供机会，以提高我们对形成这一部分大陆地壳的各种过程的理解。北陆缘（一般定义为北方怀俄明州、蒙大拿州西南部和爱达荷州东部）是一个独特的环境，为研究与陆壳-幔系统演化有关的许多关键现象提供了一个极好的天然实验室。我们建议在2005年初秋在蒙大拿州西南部举办一个为期2.5天的研讨会。会议开始将举行一次一般性会议，向与会者通报地球镜的现状，并概述与自然资源管理机制地质有关的首要科学问题。组委会将负责制定会议议程，并参与选择发言人和与会者。研讨会将为较小的工作组提供机会，以满足和确定科学目标，并评估地球范围如何帮助实现这些目标。提供了可能的工作组主题和表示有兴趣参加的个人名单。最后的会议将重点关注各个工作组的演讲。适当和及时的公告将使所有感兴趣的各方有充分的机会申请参加。将通过全面的网络开发实现讲习班的更广泛影响，支持讲习班的后勤工作、讲习班前后的活动、张贴所有讲习班的产品（例如，谈话、海报、讨论摘要、论文、计划），并将开始汇编一个全区域的数字资源集。讲习班计划还将通过建立一个与面向研究的工作组平行的地球范围教育和推广工作组来解决地球范围教育和推广（E O）的目标。研讨会还将有助于确定和招募有兴趣在NRM中为EarthScope E O做出贡献的同事。

An EarthScope workshop in the northern Rocky Mountains (NRM) will provide an opportunityfor a diverse array of earth scientists to meet and discuss the opportunities thatEarthScope will provide to improve our understanding of the wide range of processes thatformed this segment of continental crust. The NRM (generally defined as northern Wyoming,SW Montana, and eastern Idaho) is a unique environment that provides an excellent naturallaboratory for studying many critical phenomena associated with the evolution of thecontinental crust-mantle system. We propose to hold a 2.5-day workshop in the early fall of 2005 in SW Montana. The meeting will begin with a general session to inform participants of the current status of EarthScope and provide overviews of the overarching scientific questions related to thegeology of the NRM. An organizing committee will be charged to set the meeting agenda andparticipate in selection of speakers and participants. The workshop will provide theopportunity for smaller working groups to meet and identify scientific objectives andassess how EarthScope can help address these objectives. Possible working group topics andlists of individuals who have expressed an interest in attending is provided. A concludingsession will focus on presentations from the individual working groups. Appropriate and timely announcements will allow ample opportunity for all interested parties to apply to attend. The broader impacts of the workshop will be realized through comprehensive web developmentthat will support workshop logistics, pre- and post-workshop activities, posting of allworkshop products (e.g. talks, posters, discussion summaries, essays, plans), and willbegin to compile a region-wide digital resource collection. The workshop program will alsoaddress the EarthScope Education and Outreach (E&O) objectives by establishing an E&Oworking group in parallel with the research-oriented working groups. The workshop willalso serve to identify and recruit colleagues who are interested in contributing toEarthScope E&O in the NRM.
