SUMMARY:Workshop on Arrays in Global Seismology
DESCRIPTION:Workshop on Arrays in Global Seismology: Workshop Webpage\n\n	
 Organizers: Chuck Ammon\, Pablo Ampuero\, Colleen Dalton\, Kei
 th Koper\n\n	Global Seismology continues to advance steadily u
 sing well-established global and regional seismographic netw
 orks. Valuable and unique observations of earthquake process
 es will continue to be harvested from these facilities for m
 any years to come\, as will additional constraints on the sei
 smic properties of Earth’s interior. However\, a transforma
 tive advance in seismology will require an ambitious data co
 llection effort that greatly increases the information avail
 able to explore earthquake ruptures and Earth’s interior. 
 A large-scale effort to deploy intermediate-term seismic arr
 ays offers an avenue for such an advance. Expanding fundamen
 tal seismological observations from ground motion at isolate
 d points on the globe to large-aperture\, broadband observati
 ons of ground motion\, ground-motion gradients (beneath the a
 rrays)\, and wavefield slowness provides an opportunity to in
 crease the information available to investigate earthquakes 
 and Earth’s interior.\n\n	The goal of this workshop is to br
 ing together experts in global seismology and seismic array 
 analyses to discuss the principles and current state of arra
 y seismology and explore the potential for establishing an i
 nternationally supported array of broadband seismographic ar
 rays. Through group interaction and breakout discussions tar
 geting key topics attendees will articulate the major scient
 ific motivations for array studies\, identify resources avail
 able and potential needs\, lay the groundwork for internation
 al collaborations. A potential goal of the workshop will be 
 to draft a white paper that can be used to drive long-term g
 oals related to an international arrays facility.
