Applications are now being accepted for participation in an NSF-sponsored workshop on Future Directions in Tectonics, to be held in Madison, WI on May 20-22, 2016 (see attached announcement).This workshop had been postponed from July 2015 to allow greater community participation and will result in creation of a white paper, designed to help guide research and funding in tectonics over the next decade.
Applications for participating in the workshop and travel support should be submitted by February 19th athttp://goo.gl/forms/ozAhTec0My. Notification of application status will be made by March 18th.
Feedback for the organizing committee on the content and format of the workshop may be submitted at:http://goo.gl/forms/OpLAuWPuw9.
Community-written, pre-meeting “idea papers” may also be submitted by April 8th. Short papers (1 page for single author, 2 pages for group) that outline the perceived top research priorities, grand challenges, and opportunities for the coming decades in tectonics should be sent directly to directions.sgt@gmail.com.
The final workshop agenda will be announced by May 6th.
We look forward to working with you to craft a vision for the future direction of tectonic research.
