Dear Unavco members,

At the request of the National Science Foundation, a Computational 
GeoInformatics task group is investigating the high performance 
computational (HPC) needs of the Solid Earth Science community for the 
next 5-10 years. We are developing a plan to enhance the access to HPC 
to enable us, as a community, to make significant progress in our 
science.

To aid in this endeavor, it would help to understand how our community 
is currently using scientific computation.  In particular we would like 
to know what you feel are both  the opportunities and barriers for 
making maximum use of current and future resources.

If you could please take a moment to fill out a short, informal survey, 
it would be greatly appreciated. The survey form is on the web at:

http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~mspieg/CGIW2004/

Please feel free to distribute this message to your member institutions 
and anyone who might be interested.

Your help is greatly appreciated
thank you
