Earthscope Workshop on Thermal Processes

EarthScope是一项重大的地球科学研究计划，将整合来自地震学（USAray），大地测量学（板块边界观测站）以及地下采样和测量的科学信息，最初用于圣安德烈亚斯断层。（SAFOD）. 对地球镜调查的解释不可或缺的是岩石圈的四维热状态和对影响大陆动力学的热过程的更好理解。 这次研讨会将确定地球范围内的重要热过程和解决这些问题的战略，突出新的研究途径，并提供与地球范围整合和协调热研究的途径。 讲习班将审议：（1）地球镜倡议需要解决的重要地壳和岩石圈尺度热和热流问题;（2）成功解决这些问题所需的热数据和仪器;（3）美国热流数据集的状况和改进数据库的战略; 4）将热数据与EarthScope数据产品相结合，以及如何最好地协调与EarthScope的活动。 研讨会的结果将被记录在最终的研讨会报告中，该报告可以被更广泛的社区和跨学科用于规划和设计令人兴奋的科学。N. Harris（Univ of犹他州），D. S. Chapman（Univ of犹他州），C. F.威廉姆斯（美国地质调查局），K。P. Furlong（Penn.州立大学），D. M. Saffer（怀俄明州）和C. H.琼斯（CU博尔德）。我们的研讨会将于2004年3月在湖城举行，包括大约45名与会者和机构代表。

EarthScope is a major earth science research initiative that will integrate scientific information derived from seismology (USArray), geodesy (Plate Boundary Observatory), and subsurface sampling and measurement initially for the San Andreas Fault ...(SAFOD). Integral to the interpretation of EarthScope investigations is the four dimensional thermal state of the lithosphere and a better understanding of thermal processes influencing continental dynamics. This workshop will identify important thermal processes within the context of EarthScope and strategies for attacking those problems, highlight new avenues of research, and provide pathways for integrating and coordinating thermal studies with EarthScope. The workshop will consider 1) important crustal and lithospheric scale thermal and heat flow problems that need to be tackled within the EarthScope initiative; 2) thermal data and instrumental needs to address successfully these problems; 3) the state of the U.S. heat flow data set and strategies for improving the data base; 4) integrating thermal data with EarthScope data products and how best to coordinate activities with EarthScope. The results of the workshop will be captured in a final workshop report that can be used by a broader community and across disciplines to plan and designing exciting science.The organizing committee consists of R. N. Harris (Univ of Utah), D. S. Chapman (Univ of Utah), C. F. Williams (U.S. Geological Survey), K. P. Furlong (Penn. State Univ.), D. M. Saffer (Univ. of Wyoming) and C. H. Jones (CU Boulder). Our workshop will be held in Salt Lake City in March, 2004 and include approximately 45 attendees plus agency representatives.
