This award provides support for a bi-lateral workshop under the SINO-US protocol for earthquake studies to be held in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China during the period April 20-25, 2011.The Protocol for Scientific and Technical Cooperation in Earthquake Studies among the Chinese Earthquake Administration (CEA), the National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) on the Chinese side and the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on the U.S. side was first signed in January, 1980 and has been extended in five year increments since then. Both sides have affirmed the value of the Protocol and consider it to be one of the most successful S&T protocols between the two countries. Activity under the Protocol covers various aspects of earthquake research, earthquake engineering and hazard mitigation and data exchange. The workshop will be the second one in a series that aims to plan and develop the coordination needed for scientific collaboration to move forward efficiently, effectively, and in a timely fashion. A particular focus of these workshops will be on promoting the exchange of data, methodology, and software, the training of students and fostering collaboration and exchange of early-career scientists. The workshop(s) will be designed to catalyze scientific collaborations, including plans for extended visits between US and Chinese scientists. The principal theme of this second workshop will be ?Great Earthquakes in the 21st Century and Geodynamics?. Great earthquakes during the first decade of the 21st century have killed more than 500,000 people and caused tremendous economic losses. These earthquakes differ from each other in terms of their tectonic environment and geodynamic processes, yet there are also some common features in both the rupturing processes and disaster scenarios. The complex thrust faulting associated with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, for example, appears to differ substantially from the strike-slip faulting of the Haiti earthquake. Despite its lower magnitude, the Mw 7.0 Haiti earthquake caused more casualties than the Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake. The 2010 Yushu earthquake occurred in a remote and sparsely populated region of the interior of Tibet, but also caused significant human and property losses. Intensive studies following these great earthquakes have resulted in abundant observational data and new insights into the geodynamic processes of these earthquakes; comparisons of these studies will help to improve our ability to reduce seismic losses in future great earthquakes.

该奖项在2011年4月20日至25日期间在中国四川省的成都，中国省的中国地震研究中为双边研讨会提供了支持。中国地震管理（CEA）的科学和技术合作协议（CEA）在美国国家自然科学基金会（NSFC）（NSFC）（NSF）（NSF）（NSF）（NSF）（NSF）（我们的中国科学基金会（US）（US）（US）（US CEA）（US）（我们自1980年1月首次签署，此后已在五年内延长。 双方都肯定了协议的价值，并认为它是两国之间最成功的S＆T协议之一。 协议下的活动涵盖了地震研究，地震工程以及缓解危害和数据交换的各个方面。该研讨会将是旨在计划和开发科学合作所需的协调的系列活动，以及时有效，有效地前进。 这些研讨会的特别重点将是促进数据，方法和软件的交换，培训学生，并培养早期职业科学家的协作和交流。 研讨会将旨在促进科学合作，包括我们与中国科学家之间进行延长访问的计划。 第二次研讨会的主要主题将是21世纪的巨大地震和地球动力学？ 在21世纪前十年中，巨大的地震造成了50万人丧生，并造成了巨大的经济损失。这些地震在其构造环境和地球动力学过程方面彼此不同，但是在破裂过程和灾难情景中也有一些共同的特征。例如，与2008年Wenchuan地震相关的复杂推力断层似乎与海地地震的走滑断层有很大不同。尽管幅度较低，但MW 7.0海地地震造成了比MS 8.0 Wenchuan地震更多的伤亡。 2010年的Yushu地震发生在西藏内部的遥远且人口稀少的区域中，但也造成了重大的人类和财产损失。这些大地震后的深入研究导致了大量的观察数据和对这些地震的地球动力学过程的新见解。这些研究的比较将有助于提高我们减少未来大地震中地震损失的能力。
