2021 Alaska EarthScope and Beyond

Organizers: Jeff Freymueller (Michigan State University), Rick Aster (Colorado State University), Julie Elliott (Purdue University), Sarah Roeske (UC Davis)

Out virtual workshop will be held over the week of May 10-14, with sessions every day. We will send links for all workshop sessions to our mailing list, so if you are not sure if you are on the mailing list, please send an email to Sarah Roeske (smroeskecdavis.edu).

This workshop is the culmination of a series of weekly seminars—recordings are available below. The goal of the series and of the workshop is to foster synthesis and integration of EarthScope scientific results for Alaska. Seminars spanned a broad range of topics within the scope of the EarthScope science plan (including related topics supported by other programs).

Workshop Information

You can attend as many or as few of the discussion/breakout sessions as you like. None will run in parallel, and there will be as long a break between sessions on the same day as we can manage given time zone and availability constraints. We have not yet worked out the exact order for the discussions but will update that soon along with the daily time schedule.

We will be scheduling discussion times for the posters, so we ask that poster presenters commit in advance to presenting a poster and accompanying lightning talk. Posters will also be available online. Please use this form to provide the presenting author, poster title, and your availability times for discussion by April 30.
