Subject: support letter From: "???" Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 13:52:19 +0800 To: "gcf" gcf,??! Dear Professor Fox: We have known your proposal“Earthquakes, Tsunamis, and the International Solid Earth Research Virtual Observatory”and We are pleased to endorse your proposal, which is being submitted to NSF’s Partnerships for International Research and Education program. This effort addresses critical research on issues of global importance. We are going to work with you on developing an iSERVO framework that is compatible with the Cyberinfrastructure . As a result of this cooperation, we are promoting this project with China Earthquake Administration (CEA), as an international partnership of ACES, interested in studying, forecasting and mitigating the damaging effects of large and great earthquakes and tsunamis. The project will be accessible for eathquake analysis and simulations on Grid-linked compute resources and will be linked to a global collaboration environment. The Grid community will benefit from this experience as the project directly benefits international scientific research and disaster response. We suggest that “the precursory chain method developed in Russia and the US” add “In China” in your summary of project, as you know there is many work and observation of precursory for earthquake in China. We wish you the best of luck with your proposal.
