> Details of Monday's Sediment Stratigraphy Meeting:
> Convenors: Charles Nittrouer and Neal Driscoll
>
> 5:30-5:45 - (Nittrouer, Driscoll) Results of Quinault -- Source-to-Sink
> concept, site criteria
> 5:45-7:00 - (site describers) Five candidates for focus sites [you will
> draw straws for the order of presentation]
> 7:00-7:45 - (site describers) Three candidates for allied sites [you
> will draw straws for the order of presentation]
> 7:45-8:00 - (Nittrouer, Driscoll) -- Summary comments -- timetable of
> events, education/planning workshop
>
> Comments:
> Because there is much to accomplish, we will be rigorous about staying
> on schedule. We assume that, at least, one describer for each site will
> be present. Please tell us, if this is not the case.
> We are expecting people to come with knowledge of the areas, from the
> site descriptions on the web. Five minutes is clearly not enough time to
> do justice to any of the areas. If people at the Town Meeting want more
> information, they should go home and check the web page. In five
> minutes, say enough to refresh the memories of those who were
> conscientious, and enough to entice the others to check the web. We
> would like you to save ten minutes to answer questions. In any case,
> fifteen minutes is the limit of total time for your site.
> During your five minutes of description, please touch on the site
> criteria.
> You might consider bringing hard copies summarizing your site
> description. These would be distributed while we were giving the
> introduction. [You'll have to guess about attendance, but 100 copies
> probably would be enough.]
> As mentioned before, we will distribute hard copies of the evaluation
> form. However, people will have to submit their views over the web.
>
> The evaluation form is now on the web
> (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/margins/SedStrat.html look under "site
> selection criteria and evaluation form"). The mechanics of creating it
> required some time.
>
> Please contact us, if you have comments or questions.

> Details of Tuesday's Costa Rica/Nicaragua Meeting:
> Convenors: Tim Dixon and Eli Silver
>
> We plan to give everyone who wishes to speak a few minutes to outline
> the work that has taken place or is planned, leaving time for broader
> discussion, including:
> 1) In what ways can the ongoing and planned studies be integrated?
> 2) What new programs are necessary to fully understand the processes
> associated with characterizing the seismogenic zone and subduction
> factory?
> 3) What can we do to create or expand Geophysical, Geochemical and other
> databases for rapid access by the community?
>
> Please come prepared with an overhead or two, and those doing joint work
> might decide how to most efficiently present the results and ongoing
> research. Pass this message to colleagues with interests in Central
> America tectonics or general interests in the seismogenic zone or
> subduction factory. For questions, please contact the convenors above.
