Potential questions for panelists:
  • Which aspects of management models were similar across all of the facilities?
  • Which management models were unique to specific facilities? Were these tailored to the unique scientific objectives?
  • Similarly, are there aspects of the decision-making models that were similar across the facilities?
  • Which aspects of the decision-making models were unique to specific facilities? Were these tailored to meet specific scientific objectives?
  • Which management and decision-making models would not accommodate the scientific objectives of specific facilities?
  • What aspects of other facilities might you consider adopting and why?

TOPIC A: Management structures for independent seismological and geodetic capabilities

  1. What are the scientific advantages of distributing seismological and geodetic capabilities (listed below) among multiple organizations (as is done at present)?
    1. instrumentation
    2. user support services
    3. data management
    4. education and outreach
    5. workforce development
  2. What are disadvantages?
  3. What can be learned from other scientific facilities about successful management practices to address future challenges and emerging capability needs?
  4. What management model aspects discussed during the workshop might allow the current facilities greater flexibility to respond to future unexpected scientific needs or technology developments?

TOPIC B: Management structures for centralized seismological and geodetic capabilities

  1. What are the scientific advantages of centralizing some or all of the seismological and geodetic capabilities listed below within a single managed facility?
    1. instrumentation
    2. user support services
    3. data management
    4. education and outreach
    5. workforce development
  2. Which of these capabilities might not be centralized within a single facility to scientific advantage and why?
  3. Which management and governance/decision-making structures might accommodate these unified capabilities, which could not, and why or why not?
  4. If only some of these capabilities might be centralized, what management structures might be necessary to accommodate all of the capabilities (i.e., those that might be unified and those that cannot)?
