Planning, Products and the Public: An EarthScope National Office at Oregon State University

俄勒冈州立大学（OSU）海洋与大气科学学院（COAS）和地球科学系（GEO）成立了第一个以大学为基础的地球望远镜国家办公室（ENO）。EarthScope是一个全国性的项目，旨在探索北美大陆的结构和演化，并了解导致地震和火山爆发的物理过程。它由美国国家科学基金会资助，由UNAVCO、IRIS和斯坦福大学共同建设、运营和维护，并得到了美国地质勘探局、美国宇航局和其他几个国家和国际组织的资助。我们对北美大陆的表面了解很多，但对地表以下深处发生的过程了解有限。EarthScope采用先进的地球物理传感器和高性能计算来测量地震和火山事件产生的信号。该项目部署了数百个地震仪和全球定位系统（GPS）设备来观察非洲大陆的内部运作。许多仪器都是永久设在美国西部的（板块边界观测站- PBO）。其他仪器正在全国各地逐渐从西向东移动，以获取构建北美地下地球图像所需的数据（USArray）。这些图像记录了这片大陆在数百万年里是如何演变的，使科学家、学生和公众能够欣赏到北美的形状、大小和内部结构在数百万年里是如何变化的，以及这片大陆是如何以影响我们生活的方式继续变化的。为了更好地了解地震发生的条件，还可以通过深入圣安德烈亚斯断层带钻探来回收岩石样本（圣安德烈亚斯断层深度观测站[SAFOD]）。俄勒冈州立大学的ENO与美国国家科学基金会EarthScope项目主任以及EarthScope指导和教育/推广委员会密切合作，以实现许多规划文件中定义的EarthScope愿景。ENO的职责是(1)协助EarthScope合作伙伴、设施和科学家规划EarthScope项目，(2)开发服务于更广泛的EarthScope社区的数据产品，以及(3)协调EarthScope的教育和推广。PI Anne Trehu是ENO主任。罗伯特·利利（Robert Lillie）是EarthScope教育和推广的经理。共同项目负责人保罗·文森特和加里·埃格伯特以及COAS和GEO的其他科学家帮助拓宽了ENO所代表的科学专业知识的范围，而地球观测没有直接付出代价。博士后研究助理和小时工协助pi进行科学规划和教育推广工作。ENO承担的具体任务包括：编写和编辑通讯材料；为研究人员、教师和口译专业人员准备外联材料；组织EarthScope数据集成讲习班；培训外联专业人员将地球观测数据纳入解说项目，并培训科学家向公众展示地球观测结果。ENO鼓励支持在地球科学领域代表性不足的少数群体的组织参与所有活动。

The first university-based EarthScope National Office (ENO) has been established by the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) and Department of Geosciences (GEO) at Oregon State University (OSU). EarthScope is a nationwide program to explore the structure and evolution of the North American continent and understand the physical processes that cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It is funded by the National Science Foundation and is being constructed, operated, and maintained as a collaborative effort with UNAVCO, IRIS, and Stanford University, with contributions from the USGS, NASA, and several other national and international organizations. We know a great deal about the surface of the North American continent but have limited information about processes occurring deep below the surface. EarthScope employs advanced geophysical sensors and high-performance computing to measure signals generated by earthquakes and volcanic events. The project deploys hundreds of seismometers and Global Position System (GPS) devices to observe the inner-workings of the continent. Many of the instruments are permanently-based in the western United States (the Plate Boundary Observatory - PBO). Other instruments are being gradually moved across the country from west to east, acquiring the data needed to construct an image of the Earth beneath North America (USArray). These images retain a record of how the continent has evolved over millions of years, enabling scientists, students, and the public to appreciate how the shape, size, and internal structure of North America have changed over millions of years, and how the continent continues to change in ways that affect our lives. Rock samples are also being recovered by drilling deep into the San Andreas Fault Zone to better understand to understand conditions where earthquakes originate (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth [SAFOD]).The ENO at OSU works closely with the NSF EarthScope Program Director as well as the EarthScope Steering and Education/Outreach committees to realize the vision of EarthScope as defined in numerous planning documents. The duties of the ENO are to (1) assist EarthScope partners, facilities and scientists in planning EarthScope projects, (2) develop data products that serve the broader EarthScope community, and (3) coordinate EarthScope education and outreach. PI Anne Trehu is the ENO Director. Co-PI Robert Lillie is Manager of EarthScope Education and Outreach. Co-PIs Paul Vincent and Gary Egbert and other scientists in COAS and GEO help to broaden the range of scientific expertise represented at the ENO at no direct cost to EarthScope. A post-doctoral research assistant and hourly student workers assist the PIs in science planning and educational outreach duties. Specific tasks undertaken by the ENO include: compiling and editing material for newsletters; preparing outreach materials for researchers, teachers, and interpretive professionals; organizing EarthScope data integration workshops; and training outreach professionals on incorporating EarthScope data into interpretive programs as well as scientists on presenting EarthScope results to the public. The ENO encourages organizations that support minorities underrepresented in Earth science to participate in all activities.
