From contact at sz4d.org Mon Aug 1 14:06:23 2022 From: contact at sz4d.org (SZ4D Office) Date: Sun Mar 17 19:31:39 2024 Subject: [SZ4D] Save the Date: SZ4D Field Deployment Workshop at GSA Oct 8 Message-ID: Are you interested in subduction zone science and the SZ4D initiative*? Do you do field work? Do you use field data or samples? Would you benefit from support for field logistics, data collection, and collaboration? Please consider joining an SZ4D workshop on Field Deployments at GSA on Oct 8, 2022 at the Fall GSA meeting. Support will be available for lodging and travel, with prioritization for Early Career Scientists. *What:* 1 day workshop to discuss ideas to build human and physical infrastructure to support SZ4D* field research *When:* Oct 8, 9:00 am- 5:00 pm *Where:* Hyatt Regency, Denver Convention Center *Why:* There is limited infrastructure to support field data collection. Such support is required to collect the large-scale data needed to answer SZ4D research questions, to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, to engage effectively and respectfully with local groups and scientists, and to accelerate the pace of research reliant on field data. The community has expressed needs for: 1) Support for logistical coordination, travel, and instrumentation. 2) Facilities and support for local sample processing and analysis. 3) Management of hazardous activities and emergency situations. 4) Support for the collection, archiving, and distribution of publicly available data and samples. 5) Facilitation of respectful communication and interaction with local stakeholders. At this workshop, SZ4D seeks input from the scientific community to discuss the needs, opportunities, and challenges in developing a community-based field program, and the infrastructure needed to support such a program. *How to Apply:* Stay tuned for future SZ4D communications to register for this workshop. * The SZ4D initiative is an NSF-funded research coordination network whose goal is to develop a framework for large scale investigation of the processes that underlie subduction hazards. SZ4D integrates across geological, experimental, geophysical, and modelling fields, and addresses processes related to the location of volcanoes and the occurrence of eruptions, where and when do large earthquakes happen, how do faults work, and surficial hazards and landscape evolution. https://www.sz4d.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

References: <12adaf56-4dd3-482e-8147-e172b153ec27@Spark> Message-ID: <7c7bb7da-39e8-49de-9fb3-a00db02ae663@Spark> Dear Colleagues, We are very excited to report that the NSF has funded the Alaska and Cascadia Near-Trench Geodetic Experiment. This project is a five-year effort that will establish 12 new seafloor geodetic sites split equally across the two subduction environments and will support the development of new and open software for GNSS-Acoustic processing, development of findable and accessible data standards, a series of short courses ("Future-PI", and GNSS-Acoustic Processing), and ?Apply-to-Sail? opportunities in each location. While not a SZ4D experiment, this project will well compliment planned SZ4D activities and goals for understanding megathrust deformatio behavior. We sincerely thank all that have helped thus far, including those that have helped to organize and manage workshops, as well as provide fruitful insight into planning for this community experiment both directly and through community efforts during our recent planning workshop in May. We further thank those partners that are planning to offer ongoing collaborations, including the USGS and Ocean Sciences Canada. We will present on the project plan, current and upcoming activity at AGU this December, and will create a dedicated web page with project details shortly at www.seafloorgeodesy.org The Community Experiment PI Team, Noel Bartlow, Donna Charlevoix, Andrew Newman, David Schmidt, Surui Xie, Spahr Webb, and Mark Zumberge -- Andrew V.

If so, this is your chance! We encourage you to apply to our short course this fall that will cover a smorgasbord of topics related to doing science with MT. The course program will span everything from theory and instrumentation to data processing software and the tips and tools for analysis, modeling, and interpretation. This event is geared towards the academic research community, with no prior experience with MT needed! Staff from NSF?s SAGE facility at IRIS and New Mexico Tech University, and supported by expert instructors from the MT research community, will host a 4.5 day course at the PASSCAL Instrument Center on the NMT campus in Socorro, New Mexico. We are planning a hands-on experience with the state-of-the-art MT instruments managed by the PIC and the evolving landscape of software tools for developing research products with MT datasets. A generalized agenda is available now, with further detail and more information about the short course in general to be added in the coming weeks. We welcome participants from a variety of backgrounds and career stages (graduate student and beyond), and are especially keen to engage potential future users of PASSCAL facility MT instruments. Course enrollment will be capped at around 15 attendees. The financial support policy for participants is being finalized, but we expect to cover most or all expenses related to domestic travel, room, and board for attendees who are either currently based at a U.S. academic institution or are a U.S. citizen working temporarily outside the U.S. Please apply here by September 7th: https://www.iris.edu/hq/short-courses/course/magnetotelluric_instrumentation_and_data_processing_short_course Selected participants will be notified by September 16th.
