<p>On September 29-October 1, a Workshop on Subduction Zone
Observatories is being held to gather community input to NSF on a
potential suite of activities needed to address a wide range of
scientific questions associated with subduction zones. More
information about the meeting can be found at the following link:

<p><b>Anyone may submit white papers to the workshop website until
9/23.</b></p>
<p> In preparation for the SZO workshop there will be four webinars
(from September 20th-22nd) focused on different groups of
subduction zones around the world. These are open to anyone who
would like to participate even if you cannot make the workshop.
The goal of these webinars is three fold: 1) to get people
thinking before the workshop about what scientific targets would
be most important to potentially pursue in different locations; 2)
to collect input from scientists who will not be at the workshop;
3) to begin discussing ways that international collaborations
might be enhanced in those regions. Each webinar will involve a
few short presentations about possible SZO opportunities and then
time for open discussion. The webinars are being organized by
small groups of workshop attendees who will summarize the
discussion at the workshop and provide input to the workshop
report. Based on the workshop applications, a number of regions
have widespread interest for future work, and we have grouped them
into four webinars based on logistical constraints. <br>
