Although the upcoming arrival of USArray to Alaska is a big theme of
this workshop, this is also an ideal opportunity for the UNAVCO
community to come and discuss scientific opportunities. We will
emphasize the cross-disciplinary themes, and intend to encompass the
entire range of EarthScope science.

Opportunities for EarthScope Science in Alaska in Anticipation of
USArray
Mini-Workshop before 2011 EarthScope National Meeting
Austin, Texas, May 16-17, 2011
A two-day workshop will be held May 16 and 17 in Austin, Texas, before
the EarthScope National Meeting to discuss opportunities for
EarthScope science in Alaska. The coming deployment of USArray to
Alaska offers an excellent opportunity for a broad scientific
community to discuss scientific opportunities and goals that can be
addressed through USArray, the existing PBO network, and through a
broader integration of data from EarthScope facilities and other
sources. The workshop presentations and discussions can help inform
and motivate the upcoming proposals from IRIS and UNAVCO for
operations and maintenance. The workshop will provide a forum for
discussion of science goals that can be addressed using EarthScope
data from Alaska, building on EarthScope Science Plan for 2010-2020,
and explore how hypotheses proposed to explain EarthScope and related
observations in the lower 48 can be applied or tested in Alaska. It
will capitalize on excitement from the choice of Alaska as a GeoPRISMS
SCD primary site, expand the breadth of community input to EarthScope,
and build broader community support for these goals.
