Attendees broke into 5 breakout groups, to address the
following, and other, issues.
Requirements, Needs, and Wants (Leaders: Romanowicz/Davis)
[view as HTML or PowerPoint
file]
- Seismological science-driven requirements – terrestrial
and oceans
- Do we need a single-band sensor, or complimentary sensors?
- Shorter-period transportable of longer-period observatories>
- Geographical distribution: How many will be needed? By whom
(e.g., GSN/FDSN, regional networks, Universities, Feds., etc)?
- What should be the life-cycle of sensors?
- Data quality control
New Ideas, Concepts, and Designs (Leaders: Zumberge/Collins)
[view as HTML or PowerPoint
file]
- Gather a summary of new ideas
- What are the promising new concepts?
- What is the effort of development?
- Other factors such as reliability, OBS use, O&M costs?
- Do they need to be complimented with other sensors?
- Acceptable cost to manufacture?
Testing and Testing Facilities (Leaders: Followill/Hutt)
[view as HTML or PowerPoint
file]
- Who/where are current testing facilities? Do we need more?
- Facility design – minimum requirements
- How to test new designs (e.g. SCG, laser designs, etc)?
- What is required to upgrade test facilities to support new designs?
- Policies for test facility use and data access
- Support for test facilities
Academic/Industrial Partnerships (Leaders: Farrell/Stump)
[view as PDF]
- What is an appropriate relationship?
- Intellectual property issues?
- Student involvement
- Cross-market utilization? Other programs such as NEES, LIGO,
SLA?
Educational Perspectives and Funding Strategies (Leaders:
Sacks/Laske+Langston)
[view as HTML or PowerPoint
file]
- How to revitalize long-term university R&D
- Should IRIS be involved? If so, how?
- Which funding agencies to target?
- If NSF, how to engage ENG/GEO/OCE? Use of matched funding?
- Develop graduate program in sensor design. How to encourage
industry to participate?
- Scale of graduate program? Internships, fellowships, duration,
number of students, cost? How many universities would be involved?
- Can new designs be used in other educational programs? Schools?
- Education and outreach opportunities
