Future meeting topics

We have spelled out how future meeting programs and chairs will be selected by a community review in the main body of the proposal. During the numerous discussions that led to this proposal, we have become convinced that there is sufficient interest in the broader Solid Earth community to run fruitful workshops on a range of interdisciplinary problems.

As an example for a potential second MYRES meeting, we include a draft outline prepared by Jeanne Hardebeck (U. S. Geological Survey) and Laurent G. J. Montési (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) on the behavior of lithospheric plate boundaries. This agenda is only preliminary. It will be updated using three sources of input:

1. Community input by means of the MYRES website: Each interested young scientist will be welcome to propose amendments to this program before the second meeting is finalized.

2. Evaluation of the first meeting: suggestion to improve the meeting format will be taken into consideration.

3. Daily conveners: a convener will be selected for each day. That person will be allowed to adjust the program of the day, as long as it follows the general outline of the meeting.
