Subject: Draft of Scientific part for ITR Resent-Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 08:29:30 -0500 Resent-From: Geoffrey Fox Resent-To: p_gcf@npac.syr.edu Date: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 12:39:59 -0500 From: "Terry E. Tullis" To: "Geoffery Fox" , "John Rundle" , "Andrea Donnellan" CC: "Terry E. Tullis" Dear Andrea, John and Geoffrey, Attached is a Word97 document that I showed a printout of to Andrea and John. I wrote the first draft and John added to it. It may or may not serve as a starting place for some of the scientific justification for the ITR preproposal. It is certainly too long to take as it is. It might also be used as a starting place for something in the actual proposal, assuming we get that far. Andrea may take this and work on it some. She was wanting to try to write an overview statement with science in it. So here is an electronic copy for all of you.. Geoffrey, you may not need to do anything with this yet, but I figured you ought to have a copy. Presumably you can wait until Andrea works some magic and then start with what she sends you. As you may all know by now, I got three people to agree to be Senior Scientists or whatever we are called on the proposal in addition to myself. They are Jim Rice, Tom Jordan, and Greg Beroza. I know that Jim and Tom have already sent in resumes to Geoffrey and Greg plans to do so. I'll remind Greg of the need to get it in soon. For Geoffrey's information, Greg works on a variety of seismology problems as an observationalist, analyzing seismic data. One of the things that he does is to try to determine what actually occurs during the dynamic rupture of an earthquake, using strong motion data (seismometers located close to an earthquake that do not go off scale and are close enough that they can see the earthquake source as something bigger than a point source. I will try to write something briefly today on CS2, the Multipole part, and send it off to all three of you. I'm not sure exactly what is needed, so what I write may not be on the mark, but might serve as a start. I'll also send Geoffrey my vita today or tomorrow. As Geoffrey and I discussed, I'll also talk to Andy van Dam at Brown, a world expert in computer graphics, to see if he might be willing to join the proposal as a computer scientist interested in visualization.
