Hi all
I have been asked to pass this on to the geotectonics list. Sounds like a
great workshop!
Cheers
Zoe
>>>Hello all:

>>>Call for Applications

>>>Conveners:
>>>Claudia Lewis, Los Alamos National Laboratory, EES-9, MS D462, Los

>>>Porous media, including volcanic and clastic sedimentary materials,
>>>exhibit a wide range in mechanical and hydrologic properties. The
>>>purpose of this workshop is to explore this range, with the goals of: 1)
>>>investigating physical controls on fault-zone deformation; 2)
>>>quantifying the hydrologic properties of structures produced by
>>>different deformation mechanisms; 3) utilizing fault-zone diagenesis as
>>>a record of fluid-rock interactions; and 4) developing methods to
>>>effectively model flow and transport through faulted porous media.
>>> The workshop will begin with a field trip to examine faults in
>>> the Bandelier Tuff, exposed in Bandelier and Tent Rocks National
>>> Monuments. In addition to beautiful scenery, the trip will allow us to
>>> explore a range in fault-zone structures from fractures to deformation
>>> bands, and will set the stage for discussing the hydrologic
>>> implications of the petrophysical and structural heterogeneity of
>>> faulted tuffs. The following two days will be divided between brief
>>> sessions of short talks, poster sessions (posters will be up all day to
>>> facilitate discussion), and discussion sessions. Potential topics for
>>> presentation and discussion include: 1) case studies, including
>>> structural, geochemical, and hydrologic investigations of faulted
>>> porous media; 2) how to effectively incorporate qualitative geologic
>>> data into quantitative hydrologic models; 3) upscaling of small-scale
>>> structural and hydrologic data; and 4) extrinsic (e.g., confining
>>> pressure, strain rate) versus petrophysical (e.g., porosity,
>>> cementation) controls on fault-zone deformation processes.
>>> We will meet in the lovely Ghost Ranch conference center,
>>> downtown Santa Fe, which will limit the size of the group to 50
>>> participants, although we hope to attract a broad range of earth
>>> scientists. Please send letters of application by July 1, 2003 to
>>> Deborah Rivera, Los Alamos National Laboratory, EES-IGPP, MS C305, Los
>>> Alamos, NM 87545 or [log in to unmask] (Phone 505-667-0920), including a
>>> brief statement of interests and relevance of the applicant's work to
>>> the conference topic. A short abstract of work to be presented at the
>>> meeting may be included if desired. Graduate students are encouraged to
>>> apply. Conference costs will be $335 for participants staying at Ghost
>>> Ranch in Santa Fe (double occupancy; single occupancy dependent on
>>> availability, add $135 more) and $165 for locals who will drive to the
>>> conference each day. The conference fee for those staying at Ghost
>>> Ranch includes three nights lodging, three meals a day, snacks, and
>>> transportation during the field trip; commuter fee includes lunch each
>>> day, dinner Tuesday night, snacks, and field trip
>>> transport. Round-trip airport shuttle will cost an additional
>>> $40. Limited funds will be available to support some participants;
>>> applications should indicate the degree of need for such
>>> funds. Notification of acceptance will be given by July 15, 2003; the
>>> deadline for registration is August 1, 2003. The final workshop agenda
>>> and additional travel information will be provided to all registrants
>>> in late July and will be posted on the New Mexico Tech Faults and
>>> Fluids Group web page at http://www.ees.nmt.edu/Geol/Faults/Faultsflow.
