Description This
white paper is the outgrowth of a workshop organized by David Pollard of
Stanford University and held in Denver, in September 2002. During this two-day
workshop, twenty members of the SG&T academic community presented brief
overviews of topics related to their research specialties, and discussed future
objectives and needs. Representing the NSF were David Fountain, Arthur
Goldstein, and Herman Zimmerman. From this meeting draft chapters were written
by working groups. Edited versions were circulated amongst the whole group, and
the final document was collated and edited by David Pollard. In an
intellectually diverse community, there will be some who disagree with some of
this document. Our intent was to begin to provide some guidelines for our
science in the near future. A major theme of this document is the integrated
nature of our work, and the implications this has for future funding of the
research and teaching we do. We look forward to fostering a stronger structural
geology and tectonics program at the NSF, and appreciate the opportunity to
craft this document.
