The establishment of a Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) is currently under consideration. The US still lacks access to a comprehensive long-term deep underground laboratory. In the fields of geo-hydrology and geo-mechanics, significant gains have resulted from in situ research conducted in existing underground facilities despite the limited longevity of these facilities and the absence of broad access across the research community.In September 2002, a workshop was held to identify research areas of value to the nation that could be conducted at a DUSEL. The American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) Foundation contributed to this project by holding a preliminary workshop to identify research needs for geo-engineering and rock mechanics for consideration at the NUSL workshop. This project, International Perspectives of Geo-Hydrological and Geo-Mechanical Research at a Proposed U.S. Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory, is to conduct an international workshop designed to augment and refine the research agenda. The workshop, to be held in cooperation with the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, will be convened at the 10 th quadrennial congress of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) in September 2003 in South Africa. The workshop will invite practitioner experts from underground research laboratories around the world. The goals are to identify research needs and opportunities from an international perspective and to refine the scope of proposed activities at a proposed deep underground research laboratory that will complement current international activities, rather than duplicate them.Current views for the conduct of activities at DUSEL will be presented at the workshop by the US delegates. International delegates will present overviews of current research needs and activities from the variety of underground research facilities around the world. The outcome of this one-day caucus will be synthesized into a final report and made available on the ARMA Web site.This project will advance the field of geo-engineering and rock mechanics by identifying for consideration needed research to be undertaken at the DUSEL. An international perspective will be obtained through participation of researchers from other underground research facilities around the world. International collaboration among researchers from the geo-engineering and geo-sciences areas will advance knowledge and understanding across disciplines.This project, put in the broader context of the realization of a DUSEL, will give unprecedented opportunities for educators, students, and researchers to obtain field experiences and to carry out complex projects under field conditions. Results of research carried out at the DUSEL could potentially have direct impacts on issues of national importance through a better understanding of how rock behaves. These areas include resource exploration and production, national security issues, environmental considerations, and civil infrastructure systems through advances in tunneling and excavation technologies.

目前正在考虑建立深层地下科学和工程实验室（Dusel）。美国仍然无法获得全面的长期深层地下实验室。在地球流程学和地理力学领域，尽管这些设施的寿命有限，并且在整个研究社区中没有广泛的通道。旨在确定可以在Dusel进行的国家有价值的研究领域。美国岩石力学协会（ARMA）基金会通过举办初步研讨会来确定对地理工程和岩石力学的研究需求，以在NUSL研讨会上考虑，为该项目做出了贡献。该项目是拟议的美国深层科学和工程实验室的国际地质流水学和地理机械研究的国际观点，是为了增加和完善研究议程的国际研讨会。该研讨会将与南非矿业和冶金学院合作举行，将于2003年9月在南非举行的国际岩石力学学会（ISRM）第10次四季度大会上召集。该研讨会将邀请来自世界各地地下研究实验室的从业人员专家。目标是从国际角度来确定研究需求和机会，并在拟议的深层地下研究实验室中完善拟议活动的范围，该实验室将补充当前的国际活动，而不是复制它们。由美国代表在研讨会上介绍。国际代表将概述全球各种地下研究机构的当前研究需求和活动。这个为期一天的核心小组的结果将被合成为最终报告，并在ARMA网站上提供。该项目将通过确定在Dusel进行所需的研究来推动地理工程和岩石力学领域。通过来自世界其他地下研究机构的研究人员的参与，将获得国际观点。地理工程和地理学领域的研究人员之间的国际合作将跨学科提高知识和理解。该项目在实现Dusel的更广泛背景下，将为教育者，学生和研究人员提供前所未有的机会现场经验并在现场条件下进行复杂的项目。在Dusel进行的研究结果可能会通过更好地理解岩石的行为方式对国家重要性问题产生直接影响。这些领域包括资源探索和生产，国家安全问题，环境考虑以及通过隧道和发掘技术的进步。
