Workshop Support: GeoFrame Walker LanePrincipal Investigator:Daniel Stockli, University of Kansas, LawrenceGeoFrame is an integrative geologic initiative that takes a multi-dimensional view of thebuilding and modification of the North American continent through time and space. Theinitiative's goals can be achieved by systematic integration of geologic and geochronometricinvestigations and the results from unprecedented geophysical imaging as part of the EarthScopeProgram. The overarching EarthScope geophysical experiment has the potential to be atransformative program for the Earth Sciences, building a foundation for a more completegeodynamic understanding of the evolution of the North American continent. GeoFrame hasoutlined seven focus regions across the conterminous U.S., specifically to address fundamentalaspects of the growth and modification (e.g., rifting) of the North American continent throughtime. The GeoFrame effort envisions these focus site investigations to entail map-scale arrays ofpassive source seismic receivers and associated active source seismic studies and complementarygeophysics in conjunction with geologic-based synthesis and targeted studies. Study of theseregions should proceed in an intensified fashion, in concert with planned USArray steps.One of these focus sites is the Walker Lane region in eastern California and westernNevada. We propose to organize a two-day workshop that will bring together a wide spectrum ofgeologists and geophysicists who are working in the Walker Lane. This GeoFrame focus siteworkshop is particularly timely given the deployment schedule of the USArray "BigFoot" array.This workshop is intended to facilitate the organization of an integrated geophysical andgeological approach to understanding the geodynamic evolution of the Walker Lane.Implicit in the design and implementation of EarthScope is the recognition that progress onissues such as these requires the collaborative efforts of researchers working in complementarydisciplines. This workshop is designed to build a broad-based community of researchers focusedon integrative geophysical and geological investigation of the Walker Lane. As such, it will opennew avenues of collaboration between working groups and identify new research needs andopportunities. We anticipate the integration of results and efforts with the NSF MarginsRupturing of Continental Lithosphere (RCL) initiative in the Gulf of California by continuing thework onshore from the Gulf of California to the north into Nevada.

研讨会支持：GeoFrame Walker Lane 首席研究员：丹尼尔·斯托克利 (Daniel Stockli)，堪萨斯大学劳伦斯分校 GeoFrame 是一项综合地质倡议，它通过时间和空间对北美大陆的构建和改造采取多维视角。作为 EarthScope 计划的一部分，可以通过系统地整合地质和地球测时研究以及前所未有的地球物理成像结果来实现该计划的目标。总体性的 EarthScope 地球物理实验有可能成为地球科学的变革性计划，为更全面地了解北美大陆的演化奠定基础。 GeoFrame 概述了美国本土的七个重点区域，专门解决北美大陆随时间增长和变化（例如裂谷）的基本问题。 GeoFrame 的工作设想这些重点站点调查需要被动源地震接收器的地图比例阵列和相关的主动源地震研究以及补充地球物理学以及基于地质的综合和目标研究。对这些地区的研究应该以强化的方式进行，与计划中的 USArray 步骤相一致。这些重点地点之一是加利福尼亚州东部和内华达州西部的沃克巷地区。我们建议组织一个为期两天的研讨会，将在沃克巷工作的广泛地质学家和地球物理学家聚集在一起。考虑到 USArray“BigFoot”阵列的部署时间表，本次 GeoFrame 重点现场研讨会显得尤为及时。该研讨会旨在促进组织综合地球物理和地质方法，以了解沃克巷的地球动力学演化。隐含在设计和实施中EarthScope 认识到此类问题的进展需要互补学科研究人员的共同努力。该研讨会旨在建立一个基础广泛的研究人员社区，重点关注沃克巷的综合地球物理和地质调查。因此，它将开辟工作组之间合作的新途径，并确定新的研究需求和机会。我们预计通过继续从加利福尼亚湾向北进入内华达州的陆上工作，将结果和努力与加利福尼亚湾的 NSF 边缘大陆岩石圈破裂 (RCL) 倡议相结合。
