PowerPoint Presentation EarthScope Scientific Goals

1
Capacity Building in Latin America

• How can we better integrate PASSCAL deployments
  with local seismic networks?
• -Merging PASSCAL, local network data other
  international data
• -Incorporate new crust mantle models in eq.
  locations
• How can we enhance both the science and
  educational collaborations of PASSCAL projects in
  Latin America?
• How can we get more permanent and temporary
  broadband seismic station coverage in Latin
  America and make the data available?

2
Capacity Building in Latin America

• How can IRIS and individual PIs contribute to
  improved earthquake tsunami hazard monitoring
  in Latin America ?
• -IRIS international training program
• -Network of opportunities for Latin America
  students
• Should we consider a more coordinated
  international approach to collaborations in Latin
  America and if so what can IRIS do to facilitate
  this?
• -What are possible models?
