  1. Tectonics Observatory2005- Annual Meeting 8:30-10:30 • Mexico, Rob Clayton • Sumatra, Kerry Sieh • Taiwan, Jean-Philippe Avouac • Western US, Mike Gurnis • Alaska,  Kerry Sieh • Large earthquakes, Jeroen Tromp, Don Helmberger • Subduction processes, Japan, Mark Simons • Iran, Brian Wernicke 10:30-… Discussion, tea and lunch around the posters for whole day November 8

  2. Tectonics Observatory2005- Annual Meeting 9:00-12:00: Round Table Discussion. Salvatory 1:00-4:00: Debriefing TO-faculty. Buwalda. November 9

  3. The CaltechTectonics Observatory • Take advantage of recent technological advances in Earth Sciences to gain some better understanding of the dynamics of the lithosphere that will renew/encompass current paradigms (Plate Tectonics, Elastic rebound model of the EQ cycle) 15 Faculty involved  11 students and 5 postdocs

  4. Stimulate cross-fertilization among the various earth science disciplines in the Division. • Develop the use of most recent techniques for tectonic studies (CGPS, satellite imagery, thermochronology, seismic imaging, isotopic geochemistry …) • Take advantage of new computational techniques and recent hardware advances. We intend to create an stimulating multidisciplinary environment to breed a new generation of earth scientists who will conceive the future theory and models of the earth dynamics

  5. Implementation Strategies Focus Areas • Targeted field efforts in key areas • Data from existing and planned national networks (U.S., Japan, and Taiwan) • Analysis Center • Computational • Geochemical • Geological & Geophysical (field obs. & remote sensing)

  6. People-Organization • Steering committee: R. Clayton, J. Eiler, M. Gurnis, K. Sieh, M. Simons, B. Wernicke, J.P Avouac • 15 Faculty, 5 Postdoc, 11 Grad Students. • Visiting faculty and students. • TO Office manager: Heather Steele • Administrative assistant : Sheryl Garcia • GIS lab: Joanne Giberson • Computation: M. Turner, David Kewley • GPS: John Galetzka, X X • Imagery: F. Ayoub

  7. Infrastructure • GIS facilities • Beowulf • Deployment of CGPS networks: Sumatra, Nepal, Taiwan, Chili, Western US • Geochemistry: Mass Spectrometers for Stable Istopes and He • Seismology: 50 Broadband seismometers for temporary deployement, Permanent array in Sumatra
