[DUSELScience] DUSEL Townhall Meeting, Dec 8, AGU, San Francisco

[Joe Wang]

Dear DUSEL Colleagues:

Please join us at the DUSEL townhall meeting associated with the 
American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, as described below in the 
announcement. Tullis Onstott and I will organize and facilitate the 
meeting.  Any suggestion and recommendation are greatly appreciated. If 
you can come for the discussions, please let us know (or just drop by).

Joe

Town Hall Title:  DUSEL – Deep Underground Science and Engineering 
Laboratory
Date:  Thursday, 8 December        Start Time:  6:15pm
Location:  Moscone Center West, Level 3, Room 3009

Development of DUSEL has progressed in 2004 and 2005, with a 
site-independent study nearly completed and site conceptual design 
studies initiated at two underground mine facilities
(Homestake SD and Henderson CO). DUSEL provides science and engineering 
communities with a unique facility for fundamental and applied 
multidisciplinary research at depths of kilometers. Earth science 
principal investigators and working group leaders for ongoing DUSEL 
studies will serve as panelists to exchange information and ideas with 
participants on important questions associated with depths and effects 
of site-specific characteristics. Availability and access to potential 
experimental sites will be described, and input on the development of 
potential experiment sites will be requested. The infrastructure 
requirements and coordination of Earth science studies with physics 
experiments will also be discussed. With high stress at great depths, 
large excavations
for physics detectors, and elevated temperatures anticipated in deep 
boreholes, ample opportunities exist to design field-testing programs to 
solve geoscience problems. The discussion of relationships and 
interaction with other national initiatives will be encouraged.
