[SZ4D] Reminder: SZ4D Field Deployment Workshop at GSA 2022

[SZ4D Office]

Plan to attend this pre-GSA
<https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2022/home> in-person
workshop to provide input on the physical and human infrastructure
resources that the field geoscience community needs to be able to address
the biggest research questions in subduction zone science. We hope for
participation from all disciplines that collect or use field geoscience
data in their subduction-related research.



Applications for this in-person workshop are due September 9. Applicants
will be notified of the results by mid September. Funding will be available
to offset the costs of lodging and travel, with priority given to early
career scientists.

When

Saturday, 8 October 2022 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Coffee, snacks, and lunch

Motivation

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 <https://www.sz4d.org/projects-3>, 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.


What to expect

At this pre-GSA 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.


Be prepared to discuss and provide input on questions such as:


   - What logistical challenges have you had while collecting field data,
   or while trying to begin field work in a new area?
   - What types of physical or human resources do field geoscientists need
   to collect data more efficiently, or need to be able to collect “big data”
   sets?
   - How well do you integrate your field-based science into the work of
   others in your own discipline or across disciplines? What are the existing
   barriers to doing this?
   - If resources were available to help you with the above items via a
   community research program, what would you be willing to give back to help
   support that program and its scientific objectives?
