Unlike proposal or journal reviews, in-field reviews cannot be anonymous. Paleoseismology presents a special case in which it is crucial to have colleagues review interpretations and give critical scientific input while the trenches are still open. While past practice has led to a highly evolved and sophisticated 'state-of-the-art' within the investigator community, it is not always possible from the logistical standpoint to have key people participate in field reviews. Day 3 will focus on how we, as a community, define the current state-of-the-art as a goal for best practice. We will attempt to formalize objectives for the future. For example, how best might one conduct multiple independent investigations and interpretations of a single paleoseismic site by parallel investigator teams? Given the budget constraints, how might this team approach be made more efficient while ensuring robust results through some measure of redundancy?
