Geochronology Labs

Q: I am preparing a proposal to submit to NSF. How do I

request access to GeoEarthScope geochronology

facilities/credits?

A: NSF will award geochronology credits based on

proposals submitted via the merit review proposal

process. Proposals may include specific requests to

access geochronology credits [but such requests will

have no direct influence on NSF award decisions]. On the

other hand, successful proposals may have

geochronology credits issued to them even if the

proposals did not request this. NSF award decisions will

be science-based, not credit-based.

Geochronology Credits

Q: I still have questions regarding geochronology credits and my proposal. Who should I contact for additional information?

A: Investigators preparing NSF proposals should contact Kaye Shedlock, EarthScope Program Director, at NSF ([email protected]). General question may also be directed to David Phillips, GeoEarthScope Manager, at UNAVCO ([email protected]).

InSAR Recommendations

• Flown by NCALM Mar-Apr 2007

• GPS “heavy” data collected by OSU,

UNAVCO, volunteers

• Complementary to B4 project• Benefited from B4 experiences

• Overlaps with B4

• Significant community involvement• Core targets identified by GeoES working

group with input from research community

• Supplemental targets were funded by USGS, SF PUC, City of Berkeley

LiDAR Projects

• Additional GeoES LiDAR projects planned for:

• Southern/eastern California• Intermountain Seismic Belt• Pacific Northwest• Alaska

Future LiDAR Projects

• Elsinore => (138km x 1km)+ (16km x 4km at step overs in middle section) = 202 sq. km

• Garlock => (223km x 1km)+ (16km x 3.5km at Koehn Lake)+ (9.5km x 3km)+ (26km x 3.5km at eastern section of Garlock) = 398.5 sq. km

• Panamint Valley, Hunter Mountain, Saline Valley faults => (125.5km x 1km)+ (50km x 1.5km in Saline Valley) = 200.5 sq. km

• Ash Hill fault => (29km x 1km)+ (7km x 1.5km in southern section) = 39.5 sq. km

• Owens Valley fault => (26km x 3km in northern section) + (69km x 1km) + (26km x 2km in southern section) = 199 sq. km

• San Cayetano fault => 40km x 2km = 80 sq. km• Lenwood fault => 53km x 1km = 53 sq. km• Calico fault => 21km x 1km = 21 sq. km

Total area: 1193.5 sq. km

Q: Are there guidelines that should be followed if I would like to specifically request access to geochronology credits in my proposal?

A: No. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based.

Q: Would it be detrimental to my proposal if I requested support for geochronology analyses not available from GeoEarthScope facilities?

A: No. NSF award decisions will be science-based, not credit-based.

Geochronology Labs

Q: Can GeoEarthScope credits be used to support geochronology field work and sample collection?

A: No. Credits can only be used for “analysis”.

Q: Geochronology credits are not mentioned in NSF Solicitation 06-562. Will the GeoEarthScope geochronology credits still be available for proposals submitted for the July 16, 2007 deadline?

A: Yes.

Budget

The overview panel’s report, submitted to UNAVCO in summer 2007, recommended the following funding distribution:

• LiDAR, $1.9M• InSAR, $1.1M• Geochronology, $0.8M

UNAVCO is currently implementing GeoEarthScope activities based on these recommendations
