[iris-bulk] Workshop on EARS, An EarthScope Data Product

[IRIS]

Workshop to evaluate EARS and community needs for mantle discontinuity  
research using EarthScope data

EARS, the EarthScope Automated Receiver Survey (www.seis.sc.edu/ears)  
is a standardized EarthScope data product currently providing crustal  
thickness and bulk properties for all broadband stations available via  
the IRIS DMC.  Initial “customers” for the EARS products span a wide  
spectrum of needs and experiences, ranging from research seismologists  
to research geologists to K-12 educators and students.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together EARS users and  
potential users to establish priorities for improvements to the EARS  
product prior to its transition to production product routinely  
maintained by staff at an EarthScope facility.  In a broader context,  
this workshop will serve as a forum for discussing the needs of the  
community for EarthScope products in support of mantle discontinuity  
research.

The workshop will be held November 6-7, 2008 at the University of  
South Carolina.  Support is available for a limited number of  
participants.  Interested participants should register at: http://www.seis.sc.edu/ears08/

The Workshop Steering Committee is:  Tom Owens (University of South  
Carolina), Hersh Gilbert (Purdue University), Karen Fischer (Brown  
University), and Matt Fouch (Arizona State University).
