www.nsf-margins.org/SuccessorProgram

The MARGINS Successor Planning Workshop will be held in San Antonio, TX on
February 15-18, 2010 and convened by:
J. Morgan, R. Arrowsmith, M. Behn, S. Bilek, C. Ebinger,  M. Hirschmann, D.
Saffer, D. Wiens, A. Goodliffe, T. Gardner

All members of the scientific community interested in future science on plate
margins are invited to submit one or more White Paper(s) to the MARGINS Office
in advance of the MARGINS Successor Planning Workshop. The planning process is
open, and these White Papers provide a means for all members of the broader
scientific community to contribute cogent and well-argued ideas for future
directions of the program. White papers will be used in developing the workshop
program, and will be publicly available. White Papers should be clear and
succinct, and limited in length to 2 pages of text plus 1 page of figures and
references. The paper may address any topic of relevance to the workshop. We
particularly seek white papers that outline broad, high-priority, and novel
science questions and objectives for future research relating to the formation,
evolution, and/or processes active along subduction or rifting margins.
Recommendations for technological developments, instruments, facilities, and
observatories necessary to address these questions are also welcome, as well as
papers advancing educational and outreach objectives and topics of broader
societal relevance. White papers should be of general interest, rather than
advocacy statements for specific studies, locations, or focus sites. Additional
guidelines for submitting White Papers can be found here:

Submission Deadline: January 1, 2010.
