GeoPRISMS New Zealand Focus Site Planning Workshop
From: Adam Kent <adam.kent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************
GeoPRISMS Planning Workshop for the New Zealand Primary Site
April 15-17, 2013, in Wellington, New Zealand.
Application deadline: December 20, 2012.
The
GeoPRISMS Steering and Oversight Committee is pleased to announce a
workshop to develop a detailed implementation plan for the NSF GeoPRISMS
New Zealand Primary Site. New Zealand was chosen as a primary site
because all of the GeoPRISMS Subduction Cycles and Deformation (SCD)
themes can be addressed particularly well at the Hikurangi/Kermadec and
Fiordland subduction zones. The SCD themes include arc magmatism and
volatile cycling, subduction initiation, subduction margin deformation
processes (both seismic-cycle and longer timescales), and links between
surface processes and subduction margin tectonics. In addition to
serving as an excellent natural laboratory for modern subduction
processes, New Zealand also offers opportunities to investigate an
exhumed Paleozoic to Mesozoic subduction system.
The workshop is intended to clarify the main research objectives for the New Zealand primary site, and to develop an implementation plan and timeline to achieve these objectives considering available resources and infrastructure. More details about GeoPRISMS science objectives, can be found at: http://geoprisms.org/science-plan.html, along with the initial Implementation Plan for the New Zealand primary site, which will serve as a starting point for this workshop (below Implementation Plan tab).
The program will include a number of overview presentations on New Zealand and related subduction margins, existing scientific infrastructure within New Zealand (such as GeoNet), potential for multinational partnerships on New Zealand-based research, and break-out discussions that will lead to conclusive decisions about science implementation at the New Zealand primary site. White papers will be solicited in advance of the workshop to ensure community input.
Researchers from all countries with an interest in New Zealand subduction zone science are welcome to apply. Post-docs, senior graduate students, and members of under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Funding from GeoPRISMS/NSF and the New Zealand Ministry for Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) is expected to cover a significant fraction of travel and accommodation costs for ~50 participants traveling from outside of New Zealand. We also expect to support participation from a similar number of New Zealand-based scientists. Applications (see website below) require a brief statement of interest and anticipated contribution to the workshop and a short C.V.

----------------------
Note: April 2013 will be a busy time for meetings and workshops (EGU, SSA, Chikyu+10), thus interested participants should plan their travel and meeting schedules accordingly. The Seismological Society of America meeting is planned for April 17-19 in Salt Lake City. If participants plan to attend both SSA and the GeoPRISMS NZ workshop, the time difference makes it possible to depart New Zealand the evening of April 17th, and arrive in Salt Lake City by mid-day on April 17th. There are also daily direct flights from Auckland, New Zealand to Tokyo, convenient for participants who plan to attend both the GeoPRISMS NZ meeting and the Chikyu+10 meeting in Tokyo (April 21-23).
