This workshop immediately follows the 25th HKT (Himalaya-Karakorum-Tibet) meeting in San Francisco next June (see http://online.sfsu.edu/~leech/hkt25sf ). As a community, it is our responsibility to show NSF the scientific progress that has been achieved with the very significant support we have received to work on Tibet/Himalaya over the last 20 years; and to provide NSF with a clear statement and vision of our goals for the future, including the scientific progress we can expect if NSF continues its support of projects in this geographic region. As a community we need to identify which key geoscience problems and processes are best addressed in Tibet/Himalaya, what key datasets are needed, and how NSF can best support the evolving need for multi- and inter-disciplinary investigations. The workshop will be held 0800 Friday June 11 to 1400 Saturday June 12, 2010, at the Romberg-Tiburon Center of San Francisco State University. We anticipate that NSF will provide funding for 40 U.S. scientists and students to participate, and we will correspond with you again as soon as funding is secured (lead sponsorship from the Continental Dynamics Program of NSF), and our application form is available on-line. We anticipate a January 15th deadline for your application for travel support. We will be asking all applicants to summarize their personal list of the "top 5-10 unsolved questions in the Tibet/Himalaya system". The workshop program will be built from these submissions, and will be strongly focussed on future directions as opposed to past results. We will therefore invite all prospective participants in the NSF GEO Workshop to provide a science "one-pager" describing previous results; and also to consider submitting their recent science results to HKT-25. Please hold the dates June 11-12 for this NSF GEO Workshop, and feel free to offer us any feedback as we plan this meeting for the community, using our workshop e-mail address, TibetWorkshop at gmail.com GEO Workshop conveners Simon Klemperer, Stanford; Lucy Flesch, Purdue; Carmala Garzione, Rochester; Kip Hodges, Arizona State; Eric Kirby, Penn State; Mary Leech, SFSU; Anne Meltzer, Lehigh. Note: The Conveners know, and apologise to the IRIS membership, that this Tibet workshop clashes with the last morning of the IRIS Workshop. For this reason we will not be starting the Tibet Workshop on Thursday evening, even though many participants will already be on- site for the HKT meeting; we hope that IRIS participants who work in Tibet/Himalaya may be able to catch Thursday evening flights United SLC 7:05p SFO 8:16p or Delta SLC 9:00p SFO 10:04p, where we will provide shuttle service to the Tibet Workshop. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The positions are open now, and will be filled as soon as possible. A competitive stipend of $27,000/year and tuition waivers will be provided, so long as the student maintains good academic standing. Qualified candidates must have a strong academic record in mathematics and the physical sciences, with a Geophysics degree preferred. Experience in exploration seismology /seismic imaging, hydrology, structural geology, programming, computational science, and/or an existing M.S. (or equivalent) degree are also preferred. Contact Prof. John Louie for details at louie at seismo.unr.edu or www.seismo.unr.edu/~louie Application instructions are at www.unr.edu/geology/programs/grad/apply.html 1.?Optim Fellowship- This prestigious fellowship will support the strongest Ph.D. applicant for fundamental research in applied seismology for geothermal exploration and development, or for geotechnical site characterization. 2.?Seismic Imaging and Attributes in Geothermal Exploration- The Pyramid Lake Piute Tribe will be conducting seismic exploration and drilling on their reservation near Reno, among other projects. Get in on the ground ?oor as our group makes breakthroughs finding the seismic signature of geothermal reservoirs. An award is contingent upon acceptance into the Geophysics Ph.D. Program, and upon meeting requirements specified by the Graduate School. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The areas of research expertise for the position are intentionally broad. We seek an outstanding geoscientist whose research and teaching strengths complement the existing department faculty. A willingness and experience to be involved with interdisciplinary earth science research is highly desirable. Experience in field-based research and ability to teach field classes is also desirable. Applicants must have been awarded a doctorate degree in a Geoscience field by the time of hire (July 1, 2010) and demonstrate the potential to establish a teaching and research program with international recognition. Excellent communication skills, established record of publication commensurate with the applicant's career stage, commitment to teaching, and ability to attract external funding are essential. Further information about the University and Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering can be found at www.unr.edu and www.unr.edu/cos/geology. Applicants should submit a letter summarizing interest and qualifications; names, e-mail, postal addresses, and telephone numbers of at least three references; a complete vita; and electronic copies of up to three of your publications to the Faculty Jobs page at jobs.unr.edu/. Applications will close on January 15, 2010. Please DO NOT ask referees to send letters; these will be requested later in the process. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
