Travel Support of U.S. Graduate Student Participation at the53rd Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society, Perth, Australia, 1990

陨石学会是一个国际性的非盈利组织，致力于研究地外物质、宇宙化学、流星现象、撞击特征和行星地质学。气象学会的年会通常隔年在北美和欧洲举行。但是，1990年的会议将在澳大利亚举行，以承认西太平洋区域日益增长的成员。本次会议的旅行费用将非常高，该项目将帮助支付选定的美国研究生的旅行费用。学会通常通过由主办组织和学会本身资助的旅行补助金来支持研究生参加其会议。但是，如果美国研究生参加会议，则需要额外的费用。

The Meteoritical Society is an international, non-profit organization which promotes the study of extraterrestrial materials, cosmochemistry, meteor phenomena, impact features, and planetary geology. The annual meetings of the Meteoritical Society are usually held in North America and in Europe in alternate years. However, the 1990 meeting will be held in Australia, to recognize the growing membership in the western Pacific region. Travel costs for this meeting will be very high, and this project will help to defray travel expenses for selected U.S. graduate students. The Society normally supports graduate student participation at its meetings through travel grants funded by host organizations and the Society itself. The high cost of travel for this meeting, however, requires additional support if American graduate students are to participate.
