Workshop on Long Range Plan for High Pressure Earth Sciences
Meeting Prospectus
The scientific goals of this meeting include: (1) discussing recent scientific successes of the high-pressure mineral physics community; and (2) articulating in what directions our research could evolve over the next decade. The former goal is retrospective, and incorporates how our field has impacted other subdisciplines of the earth sciences, including seismology, geodynamics and petrology. The latter goal represents a challenge: what are the next major breakthroughs of our community, and what infrastructure will be necessary to achieve them? While recognizing that incremental progress will occur, what new and different developments could occur? And, what long-standing problems might we solve?
The product that we anticipate will arise from this meeting will be a new scientific plan for high-pressure mineral physics: a document that will not only serve as a blueprint for our community as it moves forward, but will also serve as the input of our community to a new NAS report, commissioned by NSF, on Basic Research Opportunities in the Earth Sciences (BROES). Quentin Williams will serve as Editor-in-Chief of this successor to the 2004 Bass Report.
