EarthScope National Office

EarthScope科学项目支持对北美大陆的地质科学探索，以更好地了解它是由什么组成的，它是如何组合在一起的，它是如何工作的，以及为什么火山和地震这样的过程会发生。了解塑造地球的过程对于了解可能发生的潜在危险以及描述可能存在的自然资源非常重要。阿拉斯加州大学费尔班克斯分校EarthScope国家办公室服务于广泛的利益相关者社区，包括研究人员、教师、学生、决策者和普通公众，促进和协调与通过EarthScope合成和传播科学发现相关的活动。EarthScope科学项目在支持北美大陆的结构和动力学研究方面有着悠久的历史。位于费尔班克斯阿拉斯加大学的地球观测国家办公室将在地球观测项目的下一阶段作为地球观测社区的纽带。地球仪国家办事处的一个主要重点将是帮助协调和促进综合地球仪研究、教育和外联的主要成果。除了支持社区衍生的综合活动外，该办公室还将根据社区提出的主题召开一系列综合讲习班，这些讲习班的成果将在网站上公布，并为审查论文和特刊提供基础。EarthScope国家办事处还将通过领导和协调各种核心职能为社区服务。该办公室将继续与GAGE、SAGE和SAFOD核心储存库人员协调与地球镜有关的活动，包括提供地球镜指导委员会的领导。EarthScope国家办公室的另一个主要重点将是通过增加科学写作组合和更频繁地更新EarthScope网站，向EarthScope科学界以及更广泛的公众进行宣传。办事处将继续支持的其他EarthScope教育和外联活动包括EarthScope演讲者系列、通讯和两年一次的全国会议。

The EarthScope science program supports geoscientific exploration of the North American continent to better understand what it is made of, how it was put together, how it works, and why processes like volcanoes and earthquakes take place. Understanding the processes shaping the Earth is important for understanding potential hazards that may take place, as well as for characterizing what natural resources may exist. The EarthScope National Office at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks serves a broad community of stakeholders, including researchers, teachers, students, decision makers, and the general public in facilitating and coordinating activities related to synthesizing and disseminating the scientific discoveries made through EarthScope. The EarthScope science program has had a long history of supporting research on the structure and dynamics of the North American continent. The EarthScope National Office at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks will serve as the nexus for the EarthScope community through the next phase of the EarthScope program. A major focus of this EarthScope National Office will be to help coordinate and facilitate synthesis of major outcomes from EarthScope research and education and outreach. In addition to supporting community-derived synthesis activities, the Office will convene a series of synthesis workshops based on topics proposed by the community, and the outcomes of these workshops will be published on the website, as well as provide the foundation for review papers and special journal issues. The EarthScope National Office will also serve the community through leadership and coordination of a variety of core functions. The Office will continue to coordinate EarthScope-related activities with GAGE, SAGE, and SAFOD core repository personnel, including providing leadership of the EarthScope Steering Committee. Another major focus of this EarthScope National Office will be outreach to both the EarthScope scientific community as well as to the broader public through an increased science writing portfolio and a more frequently updated EarthScope website. Other EarthScope Education and Outreach activities that the Office will continue to support include the EarthScope Speaker Series, Newsletter, and biannual National Meeting.
