Summary

Multi-use, multi-user facilities to support geoscience research require durable infrastructure, built and used over significant time periods, rarely less than five years and sometimes for twenty years or more. Investment in these facilities can be utilized by numerous investigators in diverse fields but only if the facilities incorporate capabilities required for individual research projects that may be proposed long after a facility is designed.

NSF/EAR has indicated its plan to recompete the management and operation of its seismic and geodetic facilities in 2018 (see 2009 Dear Colleague Letter on Plans for Integration and Recompetition of EAR Solid Earth Deformation Facilities). In order to inform this recompetition, IRIS, UNAVCO, and the EarthScope National Office (ENO) are working together to gather community input for NSF on the key scientific questions and emerging areas of research the geosciences community will be pursuing in 2018 and beyond, and the seismic and geodetic facility capabilities that will be required to support this research. We plan to describe two types of capabilities:

Foundational facilities are those seismic and geodetic capabilities without which geoscience research, as practiced today, could not continue
Frontier facilities are new capabilities, beyond those that might presently exist, which will be required to make rapid progress in addressing one or more science grand challenge questions

Workshop

The 2 ½ day workshop will be organized around broad geoscience research and outreach needs beyond 2018: rheology and global geodynamics, fault and volcano systems, evolving landscapes, and discovery-mode Earth science. For each topic, several concise presentations and Q&A periods in plenary sessions, including at least one focusing on broader impacts, will be followed by breakout sessions charged to address questions about emerging science opportunities, required facilities, and broader impacts.

Location and Dates

The workshop will be held at the Lansdowne Resort and Conference Center in Leesburg, VA about 8 miles from Dulles International Airport and a 40 min drive from Washinton, DC. The Workshop will begin in the late afternoon of Sunday May 3rd and continue through lunch on Wednesday May 6th.

Participation

Participation in the workshop will be limited to 100 researchers and educators from the geoscience community. Applications to attend the workshop will be accepted between December 1, 2014 and February 15, 2015. The Workshop Organizing Committee will choose participants to represent the seismological, geodetic, and broader geoscience research communities, with special attention to including early-career investigators, women, and underrepresented minorities. Attendees will be notified by March 2, 2015.

Whitepapers and Community Webinars

Whitepapers will be solicited from the IRIS, UNAVCO and EarthScope communities, and researchers and educators in allied geoscience disciplines. These short (1-2 pages) documents will describe an important scientific question or problem the community member expects to be working during the next decade and the seismic or geodetic facility capabilities that would enable further progress in addressing this scientific issue or support related broader impact needs. The goal of these whitepapers is to gather input from a broad cross-section of the geoscience community, since attendance at the workshop will be limited.

Community Webinars: Several disciplinary communities in the geosciences have already identified science grand challenges and future research opportunities. Webinars will review and, if necessary, produce updates to the earlier reports and describe how complementary facilities of other agencies (USGS, NASA, NOAA, and DOE) are expected to support research.

Workshop Report

A written workshop report will be produced to summarize both foundational and frontier, seismic and geodetic facility capabilities required post-2018. A draft report assembled by a Writing Committee will summarize recommendations of the workshop attendees and will be available for public comment before the report is finalized. After the report is complete, the lead editors of the report will brief NSF upper management and Division Directors within GEO.

Breakout Session Charge

The goal of each Breakout Session is to define both the foundational and frontier geodetic and seismic facility capabilities required to advance geoscience research and education post-2018. Foundational facility capabilities are those without which geoscience research, as practiced today, could not continue. Frontier facilities capabilities are those new capabilities, beyond those which might presently exist, which will be required to make rapid progress in addressing one or more science grand challenge questions.

Each Breakout Session will develop written recommendations that address these questions:

What key scientific questions, emerging science opportunities and technical advances will geoscientists be pursuing in 2018 and beyond?
What foundational and frontier geodetic and seismic facility capabilities will be required to support geoscience research in 2018 and beyond?
What facility capabilities are needed to support broader impact needs post-2018 (EPO, training and workforce development, international)?

Authors: Steven Jaume

Image Caption: Similar damage to unreinforced masonry buildings occurred in the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina (top) and 2010/2011 Christchurch, New Zealand (bottom) earthquakes. Comparisons of historical data to modern observations can greatly advance seismic hazard research.

Title: Support for the Lone Wolf Geoscientist Engaged in Research & Education

Email: jaumes@cofc.edu

First Name: Steven

What facility capabilities are needed to support broader impact needs post-2018 (education,outreach,training & workforce development,international)?: As a lone seismologist at a primarily undergraduate institution in a high seismic hazard region, I am called upon to educate a wide range of audiences (students, local policy makers and the general public) on earthquake hazard issues. As I am writing this in the aftermath of the 25 April 2015 M 7.8 Nepal earthquake, I have written a press release for local news outlets, conducted one TV interview (and have more scheduled later) and reviewed initial observations of the earthquake in an introductory undergraduate course, IRIS E&O materials are crucial for educational broader impacts at all levels. A future facility would need to continue this trend of providing rapid results and information to those of us “in the field” educating a wide range of people in the science of earthquakes and other geological hazards. Perhaps the most exciting advances in made possible by the existence of IRIS and UNAVCO lies in the ability for an individual geoscientist to bring real-time observations into the classroom. Research on student experiences in STEM courses has revealed that early involvement in authentic research greatly enhances interest and retention in STEM disciplines. While the current IRIS and UNAVCO facilities already do this to a large degree, I can envision a future facility that incorporates an even broader array of geoscience data (e.g., hydrologic, oceanographic and atmospheric) that can be easily accessed and used by educators at many levels.

Last Name: Jaume

What key scientific questions, emerging science opportunities and technical advances will you be pursuing in 2018 and beyond?: As the only seismologist currently residing in the high earthquake hazard zone surrounding Charleston, South Carolina, I am, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, the chief local resource for earthquake hazard research and education in this region. For that reason alone facilities such as IRIS and UNAVCO are essential in allowing isolated geoscientists such as myself to bring the expertise and experience of the broader geoscience community to bear on pressing local needs. More specifically, I am and will be pursuing understanding of the seismic hazard in Charleston, SC. This is challenging in that the low level of background seismicity and wide coastal plain setting means that many “conventional” techniques used to quantify seismic site response cannot be used here. Thus it is critical that access to observations made in other geological similar regions (e.g., Christchurch, New Zealand) remain easily available to those such as myself in order to facilitate my work. In many other low seismicity regions, the “answer” to an important local research question may lie in data collected somewhere else.

What foundational or frontier geodetic and seismic facility capabilities will be required to support geoscience research in 2018 and beyond?: Foundational capabilities include continued access to “historical” observations; i.e., older but still useful seismic, geodetic and other relevant data. While not currently part of any formal research database, digitized historical photographs from the 1886 Charleston earthquake are finding new life as an important dataset in characterizing both the strong ground motion and potentially the source mechanism of an important historical earthquake. While older data may not be useful in many cutting edge applications, it still retains value as future observations can be compared to historical ones to reveal important information about historical events. A frontier capability important in supporting isolated geoscientists is the continued development of easily deployed and easily maintained field equipment. Experiments requiring a significant commitment of human resources are often beyond the capabilities of an individual researcher. IRIS has already made significant advances in support of this. Any new facility would need to continue this support but also “push” instrument development to make the conduct of significant field deployments even easier. These developments will make significant deployments by an individual geoscientist with little institutional logistical support practical. I envision future facilities as being deliberately designed to be “multi-scale” and able to support the needs of a wide variety of researchers.

The workshop organizers are planning on holding four webinars prior to the workshop to provide another forum for input to the workshop. Webinars will open with brief presentations, but a significant fraction of each hour will be devoted to structured discussion among participants. Participants are encouraged to review prior strategic planning reports (e.g. the Grand Challenge documents and New Research Opportunities in Earth Sciences NRC Report).

Supporting broader educational impacts

Wednesday, April 8th, 5-6 pm EDT/2-3 pm PDT
Leader: Dr. Cathryn Manduca, Carleton College

Participants in this webinar will synthesize the guidance from recent education reports that bears on the ability of the SAGE/GAGE facilities to strengthen broader educational impacts. We will discuss key ideas from reports such as Engage to Excel (PCAST report), the Next Generation Science Standards, STEM Learning is Everywhere, and Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation as well as reports and guiding documents from Earthscope, IRIS and UNAVCO relating to their education and outreach activities. What do we learn from recent education reports that should shape our thinking about the facilities? Are there other emerging ideas that should be guiding our thinking about the ability of the facilities to support broader impacts? Michael Wysession and Dave Mogk will provide opening overviews and perspectives followed by group discussion and synthesis.
