Workshop Support: GeoFrame Walker Lane

研讨会支持：地理框架步行者巷首席研究员：丹尼尔斯托克利，堪萨斯大学，劳伦斯地理框架是一个综合性的地质倡议，需要通过时间和空间的建设和北美大陆的修改多维视图。该倡议的目标可以通过系统地整合地质和地质年代学调查以及作为地球范围计划一部分的前所未有的地球物理成像结果来实现。总体EarthScope地球物理实验有可能成为地球科学的一个转化计划，为更全面地了解北美大陆的演变奠定基础。GeoFrame已经在美国本土勾勒出了七个重点区域，特别是为了解决生长和修饰的基本方面（例如，北美大陆的一个分支。GeoFrame的工作设想这些重点现场调查需要被动源地震接收器的地图规模阵列和相关的主动源地震研究以及与地质综合和有针对性的研究相结合的补充地球物理学。对这些地区的研究应该以一种强化的方式进行，与美国阵列计划的步骤相一致。这些重点地点之一是加州东部和内华达州西部的步行者巷地区。我们建议组织一个为期两天的研讨会，将汇集在步行者巷工作的广泛的地质学家和地质学家。考虑到USAray“BigFoot”阵列的部署时间表，这次GeoFrame重点现场研讨会特别及时。这次研讨会旨在促进组织综合地球物理和地质方法，以了解步行者巷的地球动力学演变。EarthScope的设计和实施中隐含的是认识到，在这些问题上取得进展需要互补学科研究人员的合作努力。本次研讨会的目的是建立一个基础广泛的社区研究人员集中在综合地球物理和地质调查的步行者巷。因此，它将为工作组之间的合作开辟新的途径，并确定新的研究需求和机会。我们预计，通过继续从加利福尼亚湾向北到内华达州的陆上工作，将成果和努力与加州湾NSF大陆岩石圈边缘破裂（RCL）计划相结合。

Workshop Support: GeoFrame Walker LanePrincipal Investigator:Daniel Stockli, University of Kansas, LawrenceGeoFrame is an integrative geologic initiative that takes a multi-dimensional view of thebuilding and modification of the North American continent through time and space. Theinitiative's goals can be achieved by systematic integration of geologic and geochronometricinvestigations and the results from unprecedented geophysical imaging as part of the EarthScopeProgram. The overarching EarthScope geophysical experiment has the potential to be atransformative program for the Earth Sciences, building a foundation for a more completegeodynamic understanding of the evolution of the North American continent. GeoFrame hasoutlined seven focus regions across the conterminous U.S., specifically to address fundamentalaspects of the growth and modification (e.g., rifting) of the North American continent throughtime. The GeoFrame effort envisions these focus site investigations to entail map-scale arrays ofpassive source seismic receivers and associated active source seismic studies and complementarygeophysics in conjunction with geologic-based synthesis and targeted studies. Study of theseregions should proceed in an intensified fashion, in concert with planned USArray steps.One of these focus sites is the Walker Lane region in eastern California and westernNevada. We propose to organize a two-day workshop that will bring together a wide spectrum ofgeologists and geophysicists who are working in the Walker Lane. This GeoFrame focus siteworkshop is particularly timely given the deployment schedule of the USArray "BigFoot" array.This workshop is intended to facilitate the organization of an integrated geophysical andgeological approach to understanding the geodynamic evolution of the Walker Lane.Implicit in the design and implementation of EarthScope is the recognition that progress onissues such as these requires the collaborative efforts of researchers working in complementarydisciplines. This workshop is designed to build a broad-based community of researchers focusedon integrative geophysical and geological investigation of the Walker Lane. As such, it will opennew avenues of collaboration between working groups and identify new research needs andopportunities. We anticipate the integration of results and efforts with the NSF MarginsRupturing of Continental Lithosphere (RCL) initiative in the Gulf of California by continuing thework onshore from the Gulf of California to the north into Nevada.
