with gathering community input to identify the most important geophysical scientific questions, research opportunities, and broader impacts to be pursued in 2018 and beyond. She described how the charge to the organizing committee also included gathering input on the seismic, geodetic, and magnetotelluric facility capabilities required to support research and associated education, outreach, training, and workforce development.

He then described how the 2015 workshop report further split capabilities into three categories: • Existing foundational capabilities: those that are fundamental to current and near-term science directions, including the continuation of currently supported NSF projects; • Emergent foundational capabilities: those incorporating current technologies to drive significant progress on major high-priority science challenges for 2018 to 2023; and • Frontier capabilities: presently nascent capabilities considered important for trans formative science. Table 2.1 summarizes those capabilities in each category as defined in the 2015 workshop report and described by Aster.

b Significant progress made on some of these capabilities since the 2015 workshop. NOTE: GAGE = Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience; InSAR = Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar; NISAR = National Aeronautics and Space Administration -- Indian Space Research Organization Synthetic Aperture Radar Mission; SAGE = Seismological Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience; WinSAR = Western North America Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar consortium.

The organizing committee then solicited white papers from the technical community, which identified scientific community needs, revealed key questions to be asked, shaped the focus of workshop topics, and informed the workshop organization. The agenda of that workshop diverged from the charge given to the organizing committee so that the workshop could be optimally responsive to scientific community needs.

campaign at the Cascadia Subduction Zone resulted in the discovery of phenomena at multiple temporal scales that ultimately informed science in unexpected ways. Initially, it was thought that GPS data in Cascadia would allow researchers to measure plates moving at a constant velocity, but instead the campaign revealed slow slip events1 on the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Patino acknowledged this statement and stated that similar organizational boundaries exist elsewhere. As an example, she mentioned the management boundaries that prevent those working on earthquake scientific issues, earthquake early warning efforts, and earthquake mitigation efforts to collaborate formally.
