Workshop on Geodynamic Modeling of Tectonic Processes

2005年6月在科罗拉多的布雷肯里奇举行了一个题为“构造过程的地球动力学模拟”的讲习班。讲习班参加者有：（1）就未来十年构造模拟应解决的科学问题达成社区共识;（2）就适用于解决这些科学问题的模拟策略和工具达成社区愿景;（3）确定跨学科合作的机会和需求，以研究构造模拟研究中各种速率和空间尺度的多种物理过程;（4）确定需要解决的技术问题，以改善建模工具（或开发新的工具），以解决多物理场和多尺度问题;（5）建立一个程序，将构造建模研究整合到开发地理信息学的倡议，从盟国的研究人员。研讨会的参与者包括研究生，早期职业科学家，以及来自地球科学领域代表性不足的群体的科学家。研讨会的结果将通过研讨会报告广泛传播，报告将在广泛发行的出版物上发表，张贴在各种网站上，并以白色纸报告的形式提交给NSF项目官员。

A workshop entitled "Geodynamic Modeling of Tectonic Processes" is being held in Breckenridge, Colorado in June of 2005. Workshop participants are: (1) developing a community consensus on science issues that tectonic modeling should address in the coming decade; (2) developing a community vision on modeling strategies and tools that will be appropriate for addressing these science issues; (3) identifying opportunities and needs for interdisciplinary collaborations to examine multiple physical processes at various rates and spatial scales in tectonic modeling studies; (4) identifying technical issues that need to be addressed to improve modeling tools (or develop new tools) to address multiphysics and multiscale problems; and (5) establishing a procedure for integrating tectonic modeling studies into developing geoinformatics initiatives from allied researchers. Workshop participants include graduate students, early career scientists, and scientists from underrepresented groups in the geosciences. Workshop results will be disseminated broadly through a workshop report published in a widely circulated publication, posted on various websites, and in a white paper report to NSF program officers.
