From ljhwang at ucdavis.edu Sun Jul 12 22:01:42 2020 From: ljhwang at ucdavis.edu (Lorraine Hwang) Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2020 22:01:42 -0700 Subject: [CIG-ALL] Save the Date: 2020 CIG Community Workshop - 13-15 October Message-ID: <85DFF1CB-1014-4709-AEC0-D2EA5CB60C33@ucdavis.edu> 21 July 2020 Dear Community, Please save Tuesday - Thursday, 13-15 October for the 2020 CIG Community Workshop- Advancing Our Understanding or Earth Dynamics in CIG IV. Times tbd. This virtual workshop is the latest in a series of planning activities leading up to CIG IV and aims to bring together the geophysics community to address the science that drives computational geophysics and the development of state-of-the-art software. Outcomes from this workshop will inform the development of the CIG IV proposal in 2021. Building the capacity for leadership level computation and promoting the use of cutting-edge algorithms throughout the CIG community demands a broad vision that includes community education, resource development, and increasing and supporting computational expertise to make computing more approachable and accessible. The workshop intends to provide a forum to discuss opportunities and initiatives to meet community needs in supporting the practice of leading-edge, open science. As CIG looks towards the future, we invite community input on CIG initiatives through participation in discussions and contributions of science, technology, infrastructure, and outreach posters. Participants from a wide range of disciplines in the computational and geosciences are encouraged to attend. We especially seek feedback from early-career scientists in creating the vision for the next phase of CIG to meet the future challenges in geodynamics. Meeting information as it becomes available will be posted to our website: https://geodynamics.org/cig/events/calendar/2020-community-workshop Please remember to sign up for our forum to join the discussion and receive the latest news.

It is a combination of a discussion featuring six panelists plus one or more regular-format sessions (oral and/or poster, depending on how they are allocated). We would like to invite you to present your research in the regular-format part of our session. You can submit an abstract at https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/103054; as a reminder, the submission deadline is July 29 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. We also invite you to tune in to our panel discussion, which will feature: * Harriet Lau, UC Berkeley * Kristel Chanard, ENS Paris * Jamie Kirkpatrick, McGill University * Attreyee Ghosh, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore * Cailey Condit, University of Washington * Lidong Bie, University of Liverpool Stay tuned for details on what will surely be an exciting and thought-provoking discussion!

URL: From ljhwang at ucdavis.edu Thu Jul 30 17:33:09 2020 From: ljhwang at ucdavis.edu (Lorraine Hwang) Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 17:33:09 -0700 Subject: [CIG-ALL] Leadership and Vision for CIG IV Message-ID: <10B98AFC-1440-4EE4-9758-85A73DA656D3@ucdavis.edu> 30 July 2020 Dear Community, The Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG) is looking for members of the community interested in stepping forward to provide the vision and leadership necessary for the next stage of CIG, CIG IV. It will be impossible to move forward without community participation and the vision of individuals willing to take on leadership roles. To achieve the best possible outcome, we are eager to listen and engage the community about new models for the structure and as well as new directions for CIG IV. Founded in 2005 with support from the National Science Foundation, CIG is a community of 86 member institutions and represents over 1,000 researchers, international and national, from across academia and governmental agencies. CIG supports the development and dissemination of software for geophysics and related fields by supporting the development of open source, community codes, maintaining the infrastructure for its reuse, and software training. If you are interested in a leadership role in CIG IV, please provide us with a 1-2 page document (ideally one page) outlining a vision for CIG IV and what role you would like to have by August 17th, 2020. Note that the PI(s) on the NSF proposal will need to have an affiliation with a US higher education institution. We are particularly interested in your vision for the future of CIG with respect to: · Governance and Structure (single PI versus multiple PIs; centralized or distributed models) · Education, Training and Outreach (including Diversity, Inclusion and Equity efforts) · Scientific Mission and Priorities (science drivers; community engagement in setting priorities; prioritizing support of community codes) · Partnerships with other groups and agencies (including international collaborations and additional funding opportunities). Request for additional information and/or your vision statement should be sent to the CIG Search Committee by emailing me at: clb at epss.ucla.edu Sincerely, Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni Chair CIG Search Committee Louis B and Martha B Slichter Chair in the Geosciences Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences University of California, Los Angeles 595 Charles Young Drive East, Box 951567 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1567 clb at epss.ucla.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
