MARGINS Workshop:
The next decade of the Seismogenic Zone Experiment, Timberline Lodge,
Oregon, September 22 - 26, 2008
Convened by: N. Bangs (nathan at utig.ig.utexas.edu), D.
Reed(dreed at geosun.sjsu.edu), D. Saffer (dsaffer at geosc.psu.edu), and S.
Schwartz (susan at pmc.ucsc.edu)
Applications Due: May 16, 2008
The NSF - MARGINS Seismogenic Zone Experiment (SEIZE) will hold a
workshop September 22 - 26, 2008 for approximately 80 scientists at
Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood, Oregon. SEIZE seeks to understand and
directly sample the seismogenic thrust zone at convergent plate
boundaries. At the workshop we will review the recent accomplishments
and the current status of the SEIZE program, and define new directions
for future work. The workshop will include invited speakers to present
reviews of recent SEIZE projects, especially the Nankai deep drilling
program and related studies at the NanTroSEIZE focus site, recent work
on the Costa Rica focus site, other recent efforts from related
programs, and related educational and outreach activities. The workshop
will also focus on new directions, facilities, tools and strategies as
well as possible new focus sites for potential successor programs. There
will also be short oral and poster presentations. Throughout the
workshop we will hold discussions to assimilate the recent
accomplishments and evaluate what is needed to make the next steps in
understanding seismogenic processes within the SEIZE program.
Participants chosen from applicants to this announcement will be
provided with full or partial funding of their costs of travel,
accommodation and meals. We encourage applications from those interested
in this scientific endeavor, including those from outside the USA, and
especially encourage applications from young investigators and
under-represented groups. Present or previous MARGINS funding is not a
prerequisite for attendance. Applicants should prepare a brief (no more
than two pages) CV, and a brief (half-page) statement of why they are
interested in participating in the meeting, and an abstract of what they
hope to contribute to it. Detailed instructions are included on the web
application form. Applications can be found online at:
http://www.nsf-margins.org/SEIZE/2008 .
Applications close on May 16, 2008. Inquiries should be directed to the
conveners (e-mail above).
