We are pleased
to announce the U.S. Educational Seismology Network (USESN) Workshop,
to be held at the Mount
Washington Conference Center near Baltimore, Maryland on September
13-16, 2003 (full days on Sept. 14-15). The workshop will provide
a forum for exchange of ideas on the future of educational seismology
in the U.S., and will result in a detailed educational and operations
plan for the USESN initiative. The workshop will include approximately
40 participants from the research, education, and science outreach
communities. The 2.5-day meeting will include a mixture of oral,
poster and discussion sessions, and will conclude with formal writing
assignments for education and operations plans for the USESN.
Funding
for travel, housing and meals is provided by the National Science
Foundation for up to 40 participants. Participants will be selected
based on the applicants' potential to contribute to the educational
goals of the USESN.
Additional
