Workshop: Planning for EarthScope in the Great Basin and its Margins, Spring 2004

该项目的主要活动将包括一个关于大盆地及其边缘地球范围的科学讲习班。研讨会的主要目的是促进社区的自我组织，我们认为这是地球科学中第一个重大研究设备和设施建设倡议所必需的。研讨会的内容将包括回顾EarthScope科学和教育计划，回顾EarthScope有望做出重大贡献的各个领域的知识状况，所有参与者的海报，以及确定主要研究方向的分组会议。组委会将张贴所有参与者的投稿(论文、摘要、PowerPoint演示文稿等)。该项目的更广泛的影响是加深活跃在大流域的科学家对地球范围知识状况和目标的了解，并扩大该地区地球范围的支持者，将资源行业、水文科学家、地区博物馆和教育界成员包括在内。

The major activities of this project will consist of a scientific workshop on EarthScope in the Great Basin and its Margins. The primary purpose of the workshop is to promote community self-organization that we believe is necessary for the first Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction initiative in the Earth sciences. The content of the workshop will include review the EarthScope science and education program, review the state of knowledge in various fields where Earthscope can be expected to make major contributions, posters by all participants, and breakout sessions to identify major research directions. The organizing committee will post all participants contributions (papers, abstracts, powerpoint presentations, etc.) on the worldwide web for open access by the global community, and prepare a workshop report.The broader impact of this project is to deepen the understanding of the state of knowledge and the objectives of EarthScope among scientists who are active in the Great Basin, and to expand the constituency of Earthscope in this region to include the resource industries, hydrologic scientists, regional museums, and members of the education community.
