The meeting was conducted over breakfast, lasting ~1 hour, 45 minutes. This was the first in-person meeting since the previous AGU, and the agenda focused on reorienting the group under incoming chair, Anne Meltzer.
The group reviewed previous action items, before recounting the recent Subduction Zone Observatory workshop and exploring how to respond to the workshop outcomes report and other opportunities for international interactions either within or outside traditional funding streams. The group also committed to work on a RAPID proposal template with a contact/logistics database for different international regions where these proposals might apply. The group was briefed on recent DOE/LLNL capacity building activities and discussed the SEG Foundation as one such funding source for future efforts. The committee also deliberated on the future role of IDS within IRIS, leaning forward towards an NGEO facility, and how to make practical contributions going forward. The group agreed on the importance of better engaging the UNAVCO community in these efforts.
