Why we are hereWhy we are here
MARGINS, EarthScope, GeoSwath have common interests: identify Formulate key science questions for two critical areas
Use to motivate future plans, proposals Devise strategies to approach, given MARGINS and Earthscope focuses
Immediate Goal: generate short “micro-whitepaper” for rapid publication
This is just a start…

Motivations for cooperative studies
Motivations for cooperative studies
Western U.S. has 1 Focus Site, and critical localities complementary to othersCascadia ls “allied” site: accretionary, young subduction zone
Without Red Sea, should maximize return from (expanded?) GoC/Salton Site
Capitalize on EarthScope Facility… and GeoSwath, and ORION, and …
