11. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 11 Goals of the Workshop “The primary purpose of the workshop is to promote community self-organization that we believe is necessary for the first Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction initiative in the Earth sciences.”

12. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 12 Goals of the Workshop “The scope of the workshop will be to review the state of knowledge of the geophysics of the region, and in the process to refine our understanding of the problems that the data gathered by the EarthScope initiative will help to resolve.”

13. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 13 Goals of the Workshop Breakout sessions. “The principal goal will be to identify major research directions focusing on fundamental (and perhaps controversial) questions, and methodologies for making progress on these issues using EarthScope (and perhaps other) resources.”

14. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 14 Breakouts Eight total, in your program, A-H. Everyone who submitted an abstract should be listed to give a 5 minute summary of your poster in one of these sessions. Suggest 2 low-tech transparencies. Back of breakout section: a page that suggests a breakout for everyone to attend in each of the three time slots.

15. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 15 Breakouts Each breakout has someone designated as “moderator” and as “recorder”. Ask the moderator, recorder, (or someone else) to report on the session to the the rest of us. Each breakout needs to select someone to participate on the panel on Wednesday morning.

16. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 16 Breakout Session Agendas 2-transparency summaries by identified participants (~5 minutes each to start discussions) What are the scientific problems? What problems can Earthscope solve? What does it mean to self-organize? Do we want to self-organize? What is interesting for outreach and how should we present it?

17. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 17 Breakouts Organizing committee is not asking the breakouts to suggest priorities. Organizing committee does not have it’s own agenda.

18. GreatBREAK June 21, 2004 18 Panel Discussion: The following are proposed for the theme questions for the panel discussion: 1. What will Earthscope gain from it’s multidisciplinary nature, making the whole greater than the sum of the parts? 2. What integrated data products do we want from the Earthscope facility? 3. What would you like to see as the Earthscope legacy in the Great Basin?
