Thread: SZ4D Initiative final report and 1-pager available

Following the announcement here of a SZO workshop report draft in early
April, the writing committee has finalized this report after extensive
community review and input. “The SZ4D Initiative: Understanding the
Processes that Underlie Subduction Zone Hazards in 4D” document presents
the range of views discussed at the workshop on the high-priority
science targets, the critical gaps that are holding back subduction zone
science, the need for interdisciplinary in-reach and capacity-building
outreach, and the promising paths forward that the academic, national
agency, and international communities could pursue in the coming years
to transform subduction zone science. Taken together, these views lead
to a vision for a new SZ4D Initiative to capture and model the spatial
and temporal evolution of subduction zones.

This report and a 1-pager for more general audiences are available
through the workshop website:

Sincerely,
Jeff McGuire, Terry Plank, and the entire SZO workshop organizing and
writing team
