1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: SZ4D Office <contact@xxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We would like to announce a Community Meeting to discuss the ongoing planning efforts associated with the Subduction Zones in Four Dimensions (SZ4D) initiative <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.sz4d.org__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YCwgpE1RgugoRhKiT_VEQssRDOMChEfgum5n2WbsL_WbPI7_B0GBa1mwYD77q0M-ULQkMl3vTJ6NFJU$>. This meeting will provide the opportunity to discuss recent subduction zone science, update the community on the status of SZ4D, and solicit community feedback on next steps. In particular, we are seeking input on near-future opportunities to seek funding for SZ4D infrastructural needs. The meeting will be held in Houston, Texas November 14-16, 2022. In addition, there will be an early-career event immediately preceding the meeting on November 13. We realize that travel to certain parts of the country raises <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.chronicle.com/article/to-boycott-or-not-academic-conferences-face-pressure-to-avoid-abortion-hostile-states__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YCwgpE1RgugoRhKiT_VEQssRDOMChEfgum5n2WbsL_WbPI7_B0GBa1mwYD77q0M-ULQkMl3vBOdpb6M$> concerns for some members of our community. Acknowledging these concerns, the location for the Community Meeting was chosen to balance a number of competing priorities, including travel accessibility for both US and Chilean scientists and the availability of an affordable venue large enough to host the community meeting this fall. We plan to engage members of the community who cannot travel to Houston by providing opportunities for virtual participation throughout the meeting. Additional details, including registration information, will follow shortly. The anticipated registration deadline to be considered for travel support is October 1st. We look forward to seeing you in November!
