All members of the scientific community interested in future science on plate margins are invited to submit one or more White Paper(s) to the MARGINS Office in advance of the MARGINS Successor Planning Workshop. These papers will be used in developing the detailed program for the workshop, and will be made available to participants and the community prior to the workshop.

White Papers should be clear and succinct, and limited in length to 2 pages of text plus 1 page of figures and references. The paper may address any topic of relevance to the workshop, although we particularly seek white papers that outline broad, high-priority, and novel science questions and objectives for future research relating to the formation, evolution, and/or processes active along subduction or rifting margins. Recommendations for technological developments, instruments, facilities, and observatory designs necessary to address one or more of these questions are also welcome, as well as papers on how a MARGINS Successor Program can advance its educational and outreach objectives and its broader relevance to society. Please note, white papers should be of general interest, rather than advocacy statements for specific studies, locations, or focus sites. The conveners reserve the right to restrict dissemination of papers deemed to be too narrow in scope.

White Papers can be submitted below.

Guidelines:

White papers submitted by proponent teams are preferred to ensure broader consensus, although individuals are also welcome to submit
