An NSF-sponsored workshop on Future Directions in Tectonics will be held in Madison, WI on May 20-22, 2016. This workshop had been postponed from July 2015 to allow greater community participation. The workshop will result in creation of a white paper, designed to help guide research and funding in tectonics over the next decade. See attached flier for more information.
Community town hall meetings will be held at both national GSA and AGU meetings (2015) to help frame the content and format for the May 2016 workshop. The GSA workshop is scheduled for 4:00-6:00 PM Monday, November 2, in the Hilton Baltimore (Holiday Ballroom 3); the AGU workshop is scheduled for 6:15-7:15 PM Monday, December 14, in 2007 Moscone West. We encourage your participation at these town hall meetings to share perspectives on challenges, opportunities, and future directions of tectonic research and to help lay the groundwork and structure the agenda for the workshop.
Other important dates to watch for:
We look forward to working with you to craft a vision for the future direction of tectonic research.
