Alaska is home to a major tectonic plate boundary, creating conditions that give rise to significant volcanic activity and frequent earthquakes. Though progress has been made in the last 25 years in understanding the geology and tectonic history of Alaska, the EarthScope Transportable Array and Plate Boundary Observatory provide the opportunity to make significant advances in constraining the structure and dynamics of the plate boundary. This project would support a workshop that would bring together Earth scientists from different disciplines to integrate and synthesize information from geology and geophysics to provide a synoptic understanding of tectonics in Alaska. The project would support approximately twenty participants to attend this workshop, as well as two complementary workshops to be held in Sitka, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Canada, and result in the development of multiple synthesis or review papers. The project would also foster United States - Canada research network development. This project would support the development of a EarthScope synthesis workshop focused on elucidating what EarthScope has accomplished in understanding the tectonics of Alaska. The primary workshop goal is for the development of multiple synthesis papers. The workshop will be held in conjunction with a Geological Society of America Penrose conference and a Canadian-lead EON-ROSE (Earth-System Observing Network - Reseau d'Observation du Systeme terrestrE) workshop, to maximize the participation of the EarthScope community in these activities. The workshop agenda includes approximately one day of plenary talks and EarthScope synthesis discussion groups followed by a field trip from Sitka, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, that takes participants between meeting venues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

阿拉斯加是主要构造板块边界的所在地，为引发剧烈的火山活动和频繁的地震创造了条件。尽管过去 25 年在了解阿拉斯加的地质和构造历史方面取得了进展，但 EarthScope 可移动阵列和板块边界观测站为在约束板块边界的结构和动力学方面取得重大进展提供了机会。 该项目将支持举办一个研讨会，将来自不同学科的地球科学家聚集在一起，整合和综合来自地质学和地球物理学的信息，以提供对阿拉斯加构造的概要了解。 该项目将支持大约 20 名参与者参加本次研讨会，以及将在阿拉斯加州锡特卡和加拿大怀特霍斯举行的两个补充研讨会，并最终形成多篇综合或综述论文。 该项目还将促进美国-加拿大研究网络的发展。 该项目将支持 EarthScope 综合研讨会的发展，重点是阐明 EarthScope 在了解阿拉斯加构造方面所取得的成就。 研讨会的主要目标是开发多篇综合论文。 该研讨会将与美国地质学会彭罗斯会议和加拿大牵头的 EON-ROSE（地球系统观测网络 - Reseau d'Observation du Systeme terrestrE）研讨会同时举行，以最大限度地提高 EarthScope 社区对这些活动的参与活动。 研讨会议程包括大约一天的全体会议和 EarthScope 综合讨论小组，然后是从阿拉斯加锡特卡到加拿大育空地区怀特霍斯的实地考察，与会者往返于会议地点之间。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来获得支持。
